WHERE: North of the Town of Windsor Public Services campus, 960 N. 15th St., Windsor.

WHEN: Friday, Aug. 11 at 10 a.m.

WHO: Members of the public and media are invited to attend the event, along with leadership from regional law enforcement agencies, Windsor’s Town Board and Mayor, Windsor Police Department officers and staff, as well as other dignitaries from the community.

WHY: The $30 million project will see the construction of a new police facility, which will replace the department’s current building, located at 200 N. 11th St., as well as other off-site improvements. The new facility will provide more space for the expanding department and will include multiple training and development spaces, a large multipurpose conference area, and state-of-the-art evidence testing and processing facilities. Construction will begin this summer, with a current timeframe of roughly 18 months.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITY: The Mayor of Windsor, Paul Rennemeyer, as well as members of the Windsor Town Board and Windsor Police Department leadership will break ground on the new facility once speaking concludes. Mayor Rennemeyer and Acting Chief Aaron Lopez may also be available for interviews upon request.
