The Sayre Police Department was recently awarded state funds that will go towards expanding its headquarters.
According to State Sen. Gene Yaw and State Rep. Tina Pickett, the local police department will get $305,000 for the project which will add a 2,000 square foot space to the station on South Lehigh Avenue.
The project will include additional storage space for evidence as well as a garage area to enable officers to transfer individuals from their patrol cars to the squad room and holding cell without the visibility of the public.
The total cost of the project is expected to be around $521,000. The borough previously received a grant in 2023, which brings the total funding received to $411,000.
Construction is expected to start in the summer.
