The City of Monroe engaged Redstone Architects, Inc. to identify the space needs for the City’s new, Public Safety Department. Previously, Redstone prepared a Needs Assessment for the replacement of the Central Fire Station. (In 2010 the City moved towards a Public Safety Department and began to cross-train its police officers) The City’s Police Department is currently housed in the County Law Enforcement Center.

Redstone began Schematic Design for the first phase of the new facility to house only fire operations in late 2014. In November 2015 voters approved a bond issue for this project. The Project was relocated to a different site and Schematic Design Phase was completed in 2017. At this point, the City was confronted with a major tax revenue reduction. This resulted in the elimination of almost $1,000,000 from the project budget. Scope was reduced and the reduced design continued. Ground breaking was held on September 5, 2018. Substantial completion of the building was September 5, 2019.
