You will be able to ask questions and learn more about a proposed public safety building in Algoma. The City of Algoma will host the first of two public information sessions regarding its referendum for a new public safety building on March 7th from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Algoma Performing Arts Center. The spring election on April 4th will mark the consecutive year the City of Algoma has approached voters for a funding request to build a new public safety building. Last year, over 60 percent of voters voted against a new facility located on Sunset Avenue that would have housed the city’s police, Fire, and EMS departments. This year, city officials have trimmed about $2 million and several thousand square feet from the original proposal along with other changes.  Algoma City Administrator Matt Murphy said last month that the new plan addresses last year’s citizen worries and the current woes of its public safety departments.

If you cannot attend Tuesday’s information session, a second one is planned for March 29th from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Algoma Performing Arts Center.
