BOCA RATON, Fla. — Boca Raton city staff are proposing two options for a new police headquarters after voters rejected a $175 million bond proposal in March, and the city's new police chief says the project is one of his top priorities.
The first option would place a new headquarters on a 16-acre site at Spanish River Boulevard and Broken Sound Boulevard.
The plan includes a hurricane-rated, two-story, 70,000-square-foot main building and a 9,000 square-foot downtown substation.

Costs have not been finalized, but city staff say the downtown option could run 10 to 12% higher due to vertical construction.
