The City of Leominster will soon go out to bid for construction of a new police station — another sign that a project discussed for decades is moving forward.
Mayor Dean Mazzarella said in a recent interview the city is “getting ready to go out to bid” for building the structure on Central Street. The bidding process “takes several months,” he said.
Meanwhile, a legal notice was published two weeks ago seeking qualified contractors and subcontractors for the project.
Depending on how long the bidding process takes, Mazzarella said, construction could start later this year and proceed “as far as they can, obviously, before winter settles in.” Building the new police station will take about a year, he said.
A ceremonial groundbreaking could take place “hopefully sometime late summer,” Mazzarella said.
