Lewisville held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Tittle McFadden Public Safety Center at 188 N. Valley Parkway on Jan. 20. The facility will replace the city’s aging police department and Central Fire Station.

The new facility will be 116,000 square feet. Interior features include a public lobby, shared conference rooms for both departments, workout spaces, a large technology-equipped training center that can be divided into smaller classrooms and large break rooms.

A 4 1/2-deck parking garage will provide secure parking for fire and police personnel. The exterior will feature a courtyard and balconies.

The complex is named after former Lewisville fire Chief Tim Tittle and former Lewisville police Chief Steve McFadden. Tittle served in the Lewisville Fire Department for more than 40 years, becoming chief in 2011. He died after being diagnosed with cancer in 2020. McFadden served as chief of police for 29 years before retiring in 2007.

The project is estimated to cost over $100 million. Construction is scheduled to be completed late 2024.
