The Branson Board of Aldermen is examining the status of the construction of a new police station delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The station will be built on a five acre lot to the east of Tanger Outlet Mall.
Branson Police Chief Jeff Matthews made a presentation to the board at a study session on Thursday, April 22, in the Council chambers regarding the new structure and changes which would be made to the original plans because of funding changes connected to the COVID-19 delays and the current economic environment.
“We had a contract with an architectural firm which was working on construction documents when COVID hit,” Matthews said. “We’d already gone through a needs assessment, finding out how big the building should be.”
