North Port Special Election could bring new police department after over overcrowding
NORTH PORT, Fla. - Residents in North Port are voting in a special election on Tuesday that could help ease the strain on city services.
That includes up to $115 million dollars in bonds to help pay for a new police headquarters.
For the last few years, the North Port Police Department has been bursting at the seams.
It’s had to get creative by doing things like converting closets into office space.
The City of North Port said the outcome of this special election is crucial.
