Renovation of a fire / police facility in Saint Cloud, Minnesota. Working plans call for the renovation of a fire / police facility.

To generate additional efficiencies in our local government, as well as equip our emergency services for regionally beneficial response capability, the St. Cloud Regional Area Training and Education Facility will address a significant deficiency. Live fire training is a critical and required way to prepare our emergency responders and ensure they are trained for community needs. This training facility will incorporate educational classrooms, training program management offices, training props and equipment, and the ability for live fire training. As the service demand on public safety resources continues to grow and the administrative, prevention, and training functions require additional updates to keep up with operations, packaging this project with other needed fire and emergency service needs in administration, prevention, and fleet maintenance will eliminate duplication of costs and should be considered.
