The new Police Department continues to meet construction deadlines on is on budget! It is exciting to watch the project develop and see the weekly changes.

The new Police Department construction is continuing to follow expected time lines.

Construction of the new police department continues on time and on budget!

With the roofing placed on the new police station it finally looks like a real building. This is an exciting milestone and we are looking forward to the completion of the interior.

Today, February 18, 2025, P&C lifted and set in place approximately 16 CLT (cross laminated timber) panels at the high roof of the project. The city, police department, owner’s rep, Mackenzie and the structural engineers were present to witness the delivery and installation and took notes on the process. The weather was cooperative for such an important crane operation and all safety protocols were in place for the project team to witness.

Updated construction photos. It's beginning to look like a real building and the roof should be on very soon!

On August 14, 2024 the Molalla City Council approved a final amendment to the construction contract with P&C Construction that brought the total and final contract GMP amount to $16,877,864. This is in line with our planning and site work and utilities have already begun! Start up activities such as the groundbreaking ceremony, site security, job trailer, site trenching for utilities and footings, survey and various inspections are moving along and each week the owner, architect and contractor meet on site to review progress and collaborate. The project is on target to be complete by the end of 2025.

The City of Molalla broke ground on a new police station last Friday, August 2, 2024. City officials and police staff celebrated with community members at the groundbreaking ceremony.

The new station will be Molalla’s first dedicated police facility and will function as an emergency operations center to coordinate public safety crisis response activities. The project team includes Mackenzie and P&C Construction.

We expect the new station to open in late 2025.
