REDMOND, OR -- Redmond hosts a groundbreaking ceremony Monday afternoon, for its new public safety building. The public is invited to attend at 3 p.m. at the construction site, located at 2983 NW Canal Blvd. Click HERE for details.

The new Public Safety Facility is funded by a $40 million bond approved by voters in 2022. The 42,000-square-foot building will eventually house the Redmond Police Department, an emergency operations center and training room. Officials told KBND News it'll provide more privacy for crime victims meeting with officers, ample parking for employees and the public, and offer a high-visibility location for custody exchanges and marketplace transactions. 

It's expected to open in June 2025.
