Plano police are days away from opening a new substation, a project that has been years in the making as a greater share of the city's population has shifted to the northwest side of town.

The Plano Police Department began moving employees into the new space a couple weeks ago as they prepared for the full-scale opening, Plano Police Department spokesperson David Tilley said in an email.

"We are still waiting on some things before it’s open to the public," Tilley wrote. "We are hoping for later this week or early part of next week."

More than 100 police personnel, including sworn officers and civilian employees, are expected to eventually work out of the 23,000-square-foot facility, which is located at 4640 McDermott Road.

Funding for the nearly $11 million substation project came from one of the city's 2017 bond packages.
