There will be a new public safety building in Esquimalt.
The Township plans to break ground this summer on the project with a reduced scope due to rising costs.
The new three-storey building at 500 Park Place will provide a new home for the Esquimalt Fire Department, Emergency Operations Center and space for Capital Regional District offices. Original plans involved extending the building up to Esquimalt Road and included space for police and storefronts, but those have been shelvesd for now.
The public safety building is targeted for completion in summer 2025.
