During the City's facilities community engagement process in 2024, residents said their top priorities were to replace aging infrastructure & mechanical systems and improve safety & security, specifically focusing on the police station.

Using this feedback, the Geneva City Council developed a community-driven plan that will address these challenges by building a new police station.

If successful, the referendum would increase safety and security by building a new police station. The proposed facility would be built on City-owned property on South Street. The Police Station would provide adequate, modern space and technology for police officers to conduct operations safely and efficiently.

With its new location near Public Works, our City employees could more efficiently maintain police vehicles. It is also important to note that moving the Police Station to South Street would not negatively impact officer response times as patrol routes would remain the same.

Final Reminder: The City's last community open house is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 25, at the Geneva Public Library.
