Projects Johnstown officials are planning in 2024
Johnstown City Manager Ethan Imhoff said the city is planning on progressing several projects in 2024, including possibly making the decision to build a new public safety building.
Imhoff said they were looking at existing buildings throughout this year to move the city’s police and fire departments to. That may no longer be the plan to replace the current building on Washington Street that is nearly 100 years old.
“By the end of 2024 I would like to see completed design drawings and construction plans that we can then shop for funding sources that we can then use to construct a new public safety building,” Imhoff said.
