The City of Durango invites residents to provide feedback on April 30 regarding the interior plans for the proposed Police Department/City Hall at the historic high school site.

A virtual meeting will also be available on May 2.

The City seeks to improve its customer service by consolidating various departments into a centrally located Police Department and City Hall in the historic high school building at 201 E. 12th St.

A ballot measure to fund the project will be considered by council and may be on the ballot for November. The City is looking at potentially asking voters to reauthorize the 2005 half-cent sales tax as a way to fund this project. Half of the 2005 tax, 1/4 cent, was used to build the library and rebuild Florida Road. The other 1/4 cent pays for the City's parks, open space and trails efforts. The tax ends Dec. 31, 2026. Council has until mid-July to decide whether to ask voters to reauthorize the sales tax. Conceptual designs and construction costs have yet to be finalized.
