Police Station Committee (dissolved April 2023)

The Police Station Building Committee was formed by Lanesborough Select Board in March of 2022 to conduct assessments of site locations and building plans for a new Police Station. In August 2022 a need for space for Lanesborough's Ambulance was brought up and added to the project in order to serve our first responders, community and open more funding opportunities for a shared facility. 

The Committee is working with Architect Brian Humes, of Jacunski Humes Architects LLC, and through assessment of proposed site locations and floor plans has proposed the below shared-use  Lanesborough Police and Ambulance Facility (Public Safety Complex), taking into account needs of Lanesborough taxpayers and without compromising or neglecting needs and necessities required for the job duties of Lanesborough Police Officers and EMTs. Consideration of said needs projected out over 25+ years. 

The new building must be safe for first responders and the community, accessible to all, up to current building and ADA Codes, follow all State and Federal guidelines for Public safety and Municipal construction, be functional for purposes of Police and Ambulance work and community needs for projected 25+ years.
