In other news, the Kmart site may not be the home of the future CoSA Police Department. The city is being told that the site is too small for what needs to be built.

I really hope that they can find a way to make it work. There is no property downtown that will meet their needs. I don't understand why they cannot build vertical (including a garage) instead of a sprawling campus with surface parking. It would be a shame if the Police department was moved outside of downtown.

I guess we will just have to wait and see.
That is true; if they can't build vertical though I would rather them move to a location immediately out of the "inner loop." Perhaps around the Haven for Hope/ University Hospital area. We don't need any more surface lots.
