CMPD breaks ground on Charlotte’s first net-zero carbon police station
The city awarded the construction phase of the new Northwest Division station to Swinerton. According to a Charlotte City Council agenda item from February 2025, the council approved a Construction Manager at Risk contract for up to $19.67 million, covering construction and coordination through project completion in 2027.
The net zero-carbon structure will operate on clean energy with reduced environmental impacts. The division will be located on Mount Holly-Huntersville Road. Construction is set to finish by 2027.
“Today marked a groundbreaking moment for CMPD as we officially broke ground on what will soon be our newest division, the Northwest Division,” the fire department wrote on X. “This momentous occasion represents more than just a new building; it reflects our unwavering commitment to serve every community in Charlotte to the best of our ability.
“We’re excited to deepen our connection with the northwest Charlotte communities and look forward to the important work we’ll accomplish together.
