Holland Construction Services recently broke ground on the new Mt. Vernon Police Station located at Logan and 27th Street in Mt. Vernon, Illinois. The new 25,000 square-foot building will offer all the amenities of a modern police facility with the latest in equipment technology and larger spaces for training, dispatch, and offices.
Mt. Vernon Assistant City Manager Nathan McKenna said the current police station, which is a converted car dealership built in the 1970s, no longer fits the department’s needs.
Holland was selected to build the new station based on the company’s experience with similar project types and their reputation in the region.
The new station will include an administrative area, offices, conference rooms, a large training room, physical agility room, and locker rooms with showers, along with a new tech lab, evidence workroom, holding cells, and a booking cell.
The architect on the project is Farnsworth Group’s Fairview Heights, Illinois office.
The project is expected to be complete in May 2023.
