FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - Two Broward County cities will upgrade their police stations after voters approved bond referendums to build them.
Voters in Fort Lauderdale approved a bond that will set aside $100 million to build a new police station to replace the facility that dates back to the 1950s.
Residents overwhelmingly agreed to an increase in property taxes to pay for it.
Voters in Hollywood passed a bond measure Tuesday that will allow the city to borrow $73 million to build a new four-story police headquarters and borrow $5 million to buy new fire equipment.
The aging police facility was recently the focus of a 7News investigation in which we reported on a sewage leak that caused extensive damage to the building.
Voters in both cities also green-lighted bonds that will provide millions for park improvements.
Hollywood residents also approved millions for seawall improvements.
