If Both Police and Fire Move Operations to the Proposed Joint Public Safety Facility, What Will the Town Do With the Current Spaces?

The Town of Avon completed a land use planning review of Tract G in the fall of 2015. Tract G includes the current Town Hall, where the Police Department is located, Harry A. Nottingham Park, the current Fire Station building and properties along the Main Street Mall to Avon Road.

The public process had a strong focus on the park, Fire Station and Town Hall and resulted in recommendations for an array of potential future uses of the 4.5 acres. The preferred option for location of the Fire Station and Police Department was identified as the Buck Creek site.

With a relocation of the Fire Station and Town Hall, the review identified the potential for the area to be used for expanded park fields, multi-use community center development, including more performance space and conference options, parking, and recreational development, including a permanent ice sheet.

The land use plans, will be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission for recommendation to the Council as updates to the currently adopted land use plans. The proposed land use plans can be found at: http://www.avon.org/index.aspx?nid=156.
