The concrete footers for the new Platte City Police Station/City Hall building under construction at 224-228 Marshall Road were poured last week. Concrete basement walls will be formed and poured as soon as possible, depending on having dry weather. DJ Gehrt, city administrator, says progress on the building has been slower than planned due to a combination of wet weather and continued long lead times for many construction materials. The building is scheduled for completion by late October of this year, however, it is likely that final completion will be delayed until late November or early December, Gehrt said. Suppliers of some specialized material and equipment have already provided late November dates as the earliest delivery for some ordered material, including the emergency power supply and power switch gear.
