New Police HQ or Higher Taxes

Lebanon voters face a pivotal decision this fall: approve a property tax hike to fund a brand-new $52 million police headquarters, replacing a crumbling 1962 building that’s now overrun by bugs, sewage backups, and outdated systems. With the city’s population nearly doubled, the old station can’t handle modern demands—and tearing it down is the only viable fix. Homeowners could pay $216 annually for 20 years, but the mayor’s optimistic forecast says that could drop to just $30 once major tech and pharma companies in the LEAP District fully ramp up. Construction would begin in spring 2027 on South Meridian Street near City Hall. It’s a tough choice: pay now for safety and progress—or risk falling behind.
