Site work and new construction of a mixed-use development in Avondale, Arizona. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a 5,000-square-foot detention facility; and 5,000-square-foot fire / police facility.

The current Avondale Detention Center and Police Substation buildings located at 519 East Western Avenue was built between 1976 and 1986, and was remodeled in 2005. Staffing at the detention center consists of one detention manager, two detention supervisors and seven detention officers who work in a 4,600 square foot facility and process about 4,000 yearly arrests in and out of the facility. The police substation building houses two patrol squads, Community Services, three sergeants and one lieutenant. This project will be for a new building that will be approximately 10,000 square feet, with 5,000 square feet dedicated to Detention, and the other 5,000 square feet to Patrol. The specific location is to be determined, but we are looking at existing city owned land. Once the project is completed the current substation on Western Avenue will no longer be utilized. The project will be located at 10th Avenue and Western Avenue by new Resource Center. As of July 07, 2022, this project is currently in the FY 2023 CIP .
