The Winona City Council revisited proposals for new public safety facilities on the Central School site, including the Central Fire Station and a Law Enforcement Center. Council members questioned the functionality and affordability of the plans and stated they will wait for more information on the Winona County’s LEC remodel study before deciding in December. The city had previously approved a $3.9 million agreement with BKV to design the joint police-fire station, which is estimated to cost $68.5 million.
