Phoenix is buying the Wells Fargo Plaza skyscraper next to City Hall for $46.5 million, which will allow the city to consolidate workspace and create a central government campus at the heart of downtown.
The Phoenix City Council voted 7-2 Thursday to buy the 27-story building at 100 W. Washington St. to house the city s 911 dispatch center, and eventually police headquarters and other departments. Councilmembers Sal DiCiccio and Jim Waring voted against the purchase.
The purchase solves a pressing need to find a new home for the city s 50-year-old police headquarters, including the 911 dispatchers who work in the basement of the aging building and have complained about the poor conditions, including leaky pipes and mold. Police headquarters eventually will move to the new building, as well, but there s no timeline for that right now, City Manager Ed Zuercher said.
