This study was conducted at the request of the City of Jackson Fire Chief Don Friddle and Police Chief Thom Corley, authorizing MTAS to conduct an official study of the public safety facilities. The initial charge was for MTAS to evaluate the needs of the fire department and police department as they relate to the possible construction of a new joint use public safety facility for the two departments. Options discussed during the initial meeting between Jackson and MTAS staff included remodeling and reuse of existing spaces and a review of existing facility needs for those departments. Public safety facilities are major investments in the community, and MTAS has included additional information on fire station design and cost estimates to assist Jackson in creating a strategic plan for constructing a new fire station/public safety facility.
