For the second consecutive year a referendum for a new public safety building in Algoma has come up short.  The vote was 423 (42%) yes to  583 (58%) no for the $3.7 million referendum.  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 trimmed about $2 million and several thousand square feet from the original proposal along with other changes that will keep the police department stationed at Algoma City Hall.
