Site work and new construction of a fire / police facility in Muscatine, Iowa. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a fire / police facility; and for site work for a fire / police facility.

Although not located directly on the Mississippi River, the former Police Pistol Range was severely damaged by extended flooding in 2019. Since flooding of this building had occurred several times in prior years, it was determined that a new building to be located on higher ground or at a different site was needed. The former range building was demolished in 2020/2021. The City contracted for consultant services to assist in identifying suitable sites for the new range. After the initial site was not approved for the necessary rezoning, a decision was made to locate the new facility on City-owned property at the Muscatine Airport. At the time the budget was being prepared, construction was scheduled to begin in 2024/2025 and be completed in 2025/2026. The City, however, is still working with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to receive approval and comply with their requirements before construction can begin. The Muscatine County Sheriffs department has agreed to pay 50% of the cost of locating a suitable site and constructing a new range facility. The City’s share, estimated at $700,000, was included in the spring 2024 bond issue. The project is included in the City's 2025-2026 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of December 4, 2025, information regarding design firm, construction manager, and general contractor has not been released. Further details regarding construction and completion timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
