The city of Phoenix this week took steps toward building a new police precinct and fire station in north Phoenix.
With an 8-0 vote on Wednesday, council approved an $18 million contract for preconstruction and construction services for the police precinct and $2.1 million contract to design the fire station.
District 1 Councilmember Ann O’Brien, whose district contains both new facilities, thanked Phoenix voters who approved $500 million general obligation bonds in a 2023 election that made the new facilities possible.
