The Town Council on July 11 approved a bid by Willow Construction LLC to build the new station near the corner of Flower Street and Route 376.
The town used casino revenue to buy the property, and will continue to use those funds to finance design and construction costs.
Town Administrator Laura Allen said contractor Crosby & Associates worked on the design and assisted with the bid process. Five bidders responded to a request for proposals and were narrowed down to two, with the lowest bid winning.
“What this will do is this will get [police] a state-of-the-art facility that meets all the current requirements. Not that we’re out of compliance, but they have workarounds that they have to engage in when they handle different situations that they won’t have to work so hard at with this facility,” she said.

It's important to have amenities. Nothing makes a guest relax and feel at home like a chocolate on the pillow of their cot!
Well, for what it's worth...
It's a shame the Wicomico County Sheriff's Department hasn't been either updated or new.
No matter how anyone feels, they deserve a new building. The one they are in was never built to deal with the growth the County has experienced. When we see the tens of millions of dollars spent on other municipal police stations, (Delmar and Fruitland, for example) it's a smack in Lewis' face.
County residents need to rally together in support of a new Sheriff's Office. I know Executive Culver is in favor of it and I believe it's just a matter of where it will be located. Even the States Attorneys Office is new.
I hope everyone agrees.
Nice building,where will they park the tanks and Humvee's?
