FORT MYERS, Fla. — A new headquarters for the Fort Myers Police Department took another step forward Wednesday.
The city’s Board of Adjustments unanimously approved a conditional use request for the building’s construction.
Fort Myers community corespondent explains more about what FMPD wants in its new home:
The new headquarters will be at 2150 Fowler Street and will be 179, 406 square feet square feet, 18 percent larger than the current building.
FMPD presented three different schematic designs to city council back in March. They project construction to cost $102 million dollars but adding in site development, furniture, equipment and technology, the project is expected to cost roughly $139 million.
Construction is expected to start May 2026 and FMPD says they hope to move in June of 2027.
