BALTIMORE (AP) - Business leaders are hoping a $2.4 million makeover will improve Baltimore’s Western District Police Station.
The renovation plans were announced Tuesday. The project will be funded primarily by private contributions from the JS Plank and DM DiCarlo Family Foundation, the Baltimore Ravens, Under Armour, Wells Fargo, the Warnock Foundation, Maggie and Reed Cordish, BGE, St. Agnes Hospital, Comcast and the Abell Foundation.
In a statement, the businesses said they want to see the station become “a cornerstone for community empowerment and positive social interaction between officers and residents on the west side.”
The improvements include secure locker rooms, “updated restrooms that reflect gender diversity,” conference rooms for interviews and proper training space and equipment.
The project is slated to begin after expected approval by the Board of Estimates this week.
