About

The Town of Lynnfield is working to modernize and upgrade its public safety buildings.

As of fall 2022, the Town has obtained preliminary designs for a renovated Public Safety Complex at Town Hall and a new fire headquarters. The cost of this project is expected to be $63.5 million, which would be funded via debt exclusion and result in an expected increase of $385 per year for the average taxpayer.

In Spring 2022, Town Meeting approved funding for preliminary design work which resulted in the development of proposed plans for a new fire headquarters at the site of the current south fire station and a renovated and expanded Public Safety Complex at the Town Hall site that would feature modern facilities for Lynnfield Police and Fire, as well as making Town Hall compliant with requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

For more information about facilities needs at the existing facilities, click here to learn about the existing police station, and here to learn about the existing fire headquarters.

This process began in 2021 when the town completed a feasibility study that reviewed existing conditions, defined needs and charted a path forward for renovating or replacing both police and fire headquarters, as well as the south fire station and making accessibility improvements at Town Hall. Throughout the fall and winter, the Public Safety Building Committee has reviewed this study in great detail, conducted updated cost estimates, looked at phasing, constructability and budget and created a plan to bring these projects forward.
