Village Project: Facility / Public Safety Building

The Public Safety Building project was intended to address long-standing facility needs for Saranac Lake’s emergency services. The project focused on creating a combined facility to support the Village Police Department, the Saranac Lake Volunteer Fire Department, and the Saranac Lake Volunteer Rescue Squad.

The Village established a Public Safety Facility reserve fund in 2022, created a Public Safety Building Committee, issued an RFQ for architectural services, and hired Wendel Five Bugles to complete a Feasibility Study and a Schematic Design Report. 

The project was centered on the 33 Petrova Avenue property, the former St. Pius X / North Star property.
