NATC is actively working to obtain sufficient resources to complete a capital improvement project, which is part of the master facilities plan, developed and approved by the NATC board and partners, including 22 public safety agencies across Navajo and Apache Counties. The exponential increase in the cost of construction has rendered the achievement of the master facilities plan, which is critical to meeting current education and training needs and to building capacity for all NATC partners, prohibitively expensive. Without financial assistance, we are forced to scale back and scale down, compromising preservice and in-service training for agencies across rural Arizona that rely on NATC.
Any funding received will be used at the NATC training facility to allow for the expansion of an existing classroom structure from 3,925 square feet to 9,789 square feet. The 5,864-square-foot addition will include administrative space, and new centralized classrooms and staff offices. The addition to the existing building will also provide resources to recruits from partner public service agencies who are living on site including but not limited to; kitchen services, break room, and shower facilities. The total estimated cost estimate of the project is $2,638,800.00.
