Plano officials approve $140M for new Plano Public Safety Campus construction

Plano Director of Special Projects Peter Braster said the preconstruction phase will involve designing, cost estimation, site logistics and schedule development. He said a guaranteed maximum price for the project will be determined before construction starts.

The new Public Safety Campus will house the following facilities:

• New police headquarters
• 911 communications center
• Central utility plant
• Parking garage
• Fire Station No. 14

Construction of the Public Safety Campus was approved by voters in the May 2025 bond election. Braster said the bond election will provide $176,860,000 for the Public Safety Campus.

The $140 million maximum construction budget leaves roughly $17 million for future project costs. Braster said $5,925,900 of the $140 million budget will go toward administrative costs for Swinerton Builders. He said the preconstruction phase is estimated to cost $50,000.
