Mr. Randy Newlon, City Manager, said in September of 2014 that the City purchased three acres of land on Wilshire Boulevard to add to the two acres already held by the City. He said the bowling alley property site was purchased with the stated intent of creating a place to consolidate public safety operations — both police and fire. He said since that time the Fire Department has consolidated with Seminole County and two acres of that property have been committed to Seminole County for construction of a fire station. Mr. Newlon said that in January 2017 he asked the City Commission for guidance for the Police Station property should the City decide to move forward with the relocation of the Police Department to the Wilshire site. He said the Commission also asked him to explore the feasibility of developing the Wilshire site to co -locate other public agencies. He said the consensus of the Commission was to review the options for the current Police Station site. He said the two prevailing thoughts were to use the site for commercial redevelopment or as a cultural event center. Mr. Newlon said that he would have a feasibility study completed for the site and report back to the City Commission. He said the Police Station site and its potential for relocation has a great impact on Lake Concord Park and the Community Redevelopment District as a whole.
