City of Clinton officials feel they are on the cusp of announcing the locations of the new City Hall, police, and fire facilities.

Clinton Mayor Helen Michelassi and City Administrator Tony Harris say they are actively negotiating with local landowners to secure the necessary space for each entity.

The City effectively requires an entire city block to accommodate a modern fire facility. The extensive footprint is necessary to guarantee adequate space for vehicle maintenance, staff parking, and housing the department's large emergency apparatus. Harris adds that the current cramped fire station forces the city to order custom trucks modified to fit the existing building, driving up equipment costs.

The search for new facilities has been one of Mayor Michelassi's top priorities since she was elected in the spring of 2025.
