City and county leaders understand there are structural concerns with Burlington’s police station on North 3rd Street.
Those concerns led to discussions about a joint law enforcement center that would be shared by Burlington and Des Moines County.
Chairman Tom Broeker says the County Board of Supervisors backed out of the talks because of the potential, multi-million dollar price tag for the project.
The future of the building is back in the news after mold was discovered on the third floor, which houses the Des Moines County Attorney’s office.
