OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — The City of Omaha is early in the process of determining what exactly the new joint police and fire headquarters would need.
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) has an estimated total cost of $80 million. But once the design and site are established, Stothert said the funding will be updated.
Mayor Stothert estimates the cost to be between $150 million to $200 million.
