PHOTOS: New Canaan Police Station Renovation Going ‘Very Well’

By |

The $20 million renovation of the New Canaan Police Station on South Avenue—about $29 million with soft costs such as insurance and creating a temporary police headquarters downtown—is on time and budget, officials say. Speaking from the bustling site on a rainy morning last week, Scott Tomkins, project manager with Turner Construction, told NewCanaanite.com during a tour that the work is going well and “we’re in good shape here.”

“We’ve got good things going on,” Tompkins said. “The main objective here is to get into the finishing stages. We’ve really now got to start moving ourselves out of the building so that the finish trades can come and do their work so that we can develop a quality project at the end.”

Town officials have discussed the need to renovate the Police Department at 167 South Ave. for many years.
