Why the New Facility is needed?
In this video, Tigard Mayor, the Police Chief, and the Public Works Director come together to explain the urgent need for a new, modern facility. They highlight how outdated infrastructure impacts emergency response times, staff safety, and daily operations, and why investing in an upgraded space is critical for serving the growing needs of the community.
The Challenge
Outdated
Tigard’s current emergency services facilities were built 40+ years ago and no longer meet the demands of a growing community.
A new facility will provide the modern infrastructure needed to support our expanding city and ensure our first responders have the tools and space to do their jobs effectively.
Seismic Risks
These buildings do not meet current earthquake safety standards, leaving our responders vulnerable in the event of a disaster.
A new, earthquake-resilient facility will keep our first responders safe during a disaster, ensuring they can continue to serve and protect the community when it's needed most.
Overcrowded & Inefficient
With limited space and outdated systems, it’s difficult for police, public works, and emergency teams to operate effectively.
A new facility will streamline operations, improve coordination, and ensure our emergency teams are prepared to handle any crisis efficiently.
Expensive to Maintain
Ongoing repairs are costly and inefficient, draining taxpayer funds without addressing the root issues.
Building a new facility now will save money in the long run by eliminating costly repairs and reducing the need for inefficient rental spaces.
