Cedar Park Police Department Dispatch Renovation

The Cedar Park Police Department is undergoing a significant renovation at 911 Quest Pkwy. in Cedar Park, Texas. This project, filed as the Cedar Park Police Department Dispatch Renovation, involves the alteration of approximately 5,000 square feet of office space. The primary scope of work includes moving the Communications Center from the building’s second floor to the first floor. The vacated second-floor area will be converted into additional office space to support the department’s operational needs.

The City of Cedar Park is the owner of record for this $3,000,000 improvement project. The design firm of record is Hoefer Welker, which has been registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) for this work. Elaine K Andersen serves as the registered accessibility specialist. The project status is listed as Review Complete, indicating that the necessary plan reviews have been finalized. Construction is scheduled to finish in February 2027, with work starting in July 2026.

This renovation is part of a broader portfolio of municipal improvements. The City of Cedar Park has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling over $33 million, including developments at Veterans Park, Milburn Park, and Brushy Creek Lake Park. Similarly, Hoefer Welker has been involved in six other registered projects across Texas, including a $22.5 million fire station in Boerne and renovations in Dallas. These figures place the Cedar Park police renovation within a context of significant public infrastructure investment in the region.

The project utilizes public funds for the renovation and relocation of critical communications infrastructure. The estimated cost of $600 per square foot is above the county median for similar renovation filings, reflecting the specialized nature of the dispatch center relocation. The scheduled build window of 215 days is longer than the county median of 92 days for comparable projects, allowing for the complex interior reconfiguration required for the communications center.

Local coverage has noted this project among major Austin-area permits, highlighting its estimated cost and square footage. The renovation aims to improve the efficiency and accessibility of the police department’s dispatch operations. By consolidating the communications center on the first floor, the city intends to streamline emergency response coordination. The project represents a modernization of the department’s physical infrastructure to better serve the community of Cedar Park and the surrounding Williamson County area.
