League City allocates $240K for design of police training facility League City City Council voted unan- imously to award a $240,000 contract, a portion of the project’s overall $900,000 budget, to Fort Worth-based Quorum Archi- tects for a 24-hour access training facility for its police department at its Feb. 10 meeting. What residents should know The 24-hour access facility, which will be located at the existing public safety building at 555 W. Walker St., will provide a city-owned space for the department to conduct trainings, eliminating the need to use facilities in other cities that may have limited availability or only operate during business hours, according to previous reporting by Community Impact .
