On March 28, 2022, Lexington Town Meeting voted $32.4 million for design and construction of a new Lexington Police Headquarters to replace the current 13,060 sf facility originally built in 1956. The next step is the town is asking residents to vote in a special June 6, 2022 debt exclusion to approve the funds required to build a new police station-- raising interest as well as questions in the community. 

On June 3, 2022 at 9:30AM The League of Women Voters of Lexington invites you to join us at our First Friday by Zoom, for a presentation about the proposed new police station. 

Guest speakers will be James Malloy, Lexington Town Manager, Mike McLean, Lexington Police Chief, and Michael Cronin, Director of Public Facilities. The panelists will outline the need for the new facility and the time line that has led to the scheduling of the vote. There will be time for questions.

There will be only one question on the ballot on June 6, 2022. 

Shall the Town of Lexington be allowed to exempt from the provisions of proposition two and one-half, so called, the amounts required to pay for the bonds issued in order to pay costs of design and construction for a new Police Station, located at 1575 Massachusetts Avenue in Lexington, including the payment of costs of demolition, architectural and engineering services, original equipment, furnishings, landscaping, paving and other site and traffic improvements incidental or directly related to such construction?

YES: A 'yes' vote will allow for the construction of the Police Station project.

NO: A 'no' vote will not allow the construction of the Police Station project to move forward.
