COHASSET – April 29, 2026 – Facing a critical Town Meeting vote on May 4, the Cohasset Public Safety Facilities Committee unveiled its final pitch for a $32 million renovation and expansion of 135 King Street. Characterizing the project as the culmination of 20 years of planning, officials argued that the current Elm Street station has become an operational liability where officers are forced to test dangerous narcotics like fentanyl on the same tables where they eat lunch. The committee is requesting $21,783,000 in new funding to complete the facility, which they promise will “future-proof” the town’s emergency response and finally provide a professional environment for victims of crime.

In a combined committee meeting and public forum held Monday night, Chairman Glenn Pratt and Vice Chair Rich Kinscherf walked residents through “Plan D”—a comprehensive renovation of the former medical building at 135 King Street.
