The ball is finally starting to really roll for Ann Arbor's proposed new home for its police station and 15th District Court. Now it just needs the opinions from local residents on which direction to push it.
The city will host a public meeting on the new proposed building at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the main branch of the Ann Arbor District Library, 343 S Fifth Ave. Those who attend will get to speak out about proposed designed for the building, which is the first part of a multi-phase development.
The structure is part of the redevelopment of the Guy C Larcom Jr. Municipal Building, located at Huron and Fifth streets. When finished, the redevelopment will consolidate many of the city's services in the heart of downtown. The city will pay Quinn Evans Architects $833,000 to design the proposed $34-million building, a subject that has proved quite contentious in City Council in recent months.
City officials and the architects of the project will use feedback from this meeting, and others scheduled over the next six months, to help shape the design of the building. For information, call (734) 996-3020 or visit www.a2gov.org.
