The City Council in Chesapeake is reviewing options for a new Law Enforcement Training Academy (LETA). The proposed academy would be approximately 131,000 gross square feet and has an anticipated construction cost of $82 million, with a design and build timeline of 51 months. Options under review include the present location, undeveloped property near the municipal center, or land along South Birdneck Road. Council members are exploring the costs and benefits of these sites, including the Interfacility Traffic Area (ITA).
