City of Auburn Public Safety Building

under construction

The City of Auburn broke ground on a new public safety building that will serve as the headquarters for the police and fire departments. The new facility replaces the current fire department's central station, which is over 50 years old. The project aims to address longstanding deficiencies and meet current federal safety and health standards. Senator Susan Collins secured $2.5 million in federal funding for the project, which is part of a larger effort to replace or renovate 45 public safety buildings across Maine using $87 million in federal funding.
