After the red ribbon is cut on the new Marshalltown Police Department/Fire Department building at 6 p.m. Tuesday, residents attending the open house will see a state-of-the-art facility that is the best in Iowa.
“I am thrilled for the men and women of the police and fire departments who put their lives on the line for us every day,” Mayor Joel Greer said. “They now have a professional facility to do their work.”
With nearly two years of construction, 14 years of planning and coordination, numerous public forums and two public bond referendums, Chief of Police Mike Tupper and Fire Chief David Rierson believe all has generated an excellent return on investment.
