Dream of new police station, court becomes reality

The City of Great Bend Monday morning broke ground on the long-awaited Justice Center during a ceremony at 12th and Baker, the site of the new Police Station and Municipal Court building. Mobilization for the 20,000-square-foot nearly $9 million project will begin this week. The building should be completed in about 11 months. “This is an exciting day,” City Administrator Kendal Francis said. “Today is a culmination of essentially to two years of hard work and planning.” In October of 2020, a committee appointed by Mayor Cody Schmidt began in earnest the preparation and site selection.
