Under consideration would be identifying a location or building for a joint operations and a storage facility that could accommodate the needs of several public agencies, including SPS, Spokane Police Department, Spokane Fire Department, and the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture (MAC). A City-owned property known as the Nelson site has been identified as a potential location for this project.

SPS would build and operate the facility to address the significant storage needs of all parties and allow the MAC to repurpose its current, on-site storage to expand exhibit space and learning opportunities.

• Increases square footage dedicated to exhibit space to display local and historical artifacts currently in storage by joining partnership for off-site storage facility
• Expands space for public exhibits and enhances educational programming
• Enables MAC to display local historical artifacts by recapturing space currently used for storage
