El Paso's Public Safety Complex Moves, Schools Close, Sunset Amphitheater Takes Shape
Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Tuesday, May 13, 2025.
Big news from City Hall as the El Paso City Council has approved relocating the $163 million Public Safety Complex from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Northeast El Paso to Global Reach Drive near the airport. City officials say this move will save at least $22 million in construction costs and provide more space for future expansion. Construction is expected to begin in 2026 as part of the $413 million Public Safety Bond approved by voters back in 2019.
In education news, El Paso ISD is moving forward with school closures for the upcoming academic year. Six elementary schools will close their doors for the 2025-2026 school year: Carlos Rivera, Lamar, Newman, Putnam, Rusk, and Zavala. The district reports they've managed to retain 95% of affected students, and all teachers will be reassigned to other schools.
We're seeing progress on the entertainment front with the Sunset Amphitheater land deal now finalized. Groundbreaking for this major venue is expected by late 2025, bringing a new entertainment option to our community.
Looking ahead to budget planning, both the city and county governments are facing financial uncertainty as they prepare their 2025-26 fiscal year budgets. Officials cite potential federal funding cuts and obligations from police and fire contracts as contributing factors. After two years of no-new-revenue tax rates, residents may see potential tax increases or service cuts in the coming fiscal year.
For those interested in local history, the Plaza Theatre is offering tours today at noon. Registration is still open if you'd like to explore this El Paso landmark.
In public safety news, El Paso Police reported the city's 9th traffic fatality with a recent arrest for intoxication manslaughter. We encourage everyone to drive safely and responsibly.
A reminder that all City of El Paso offices remain open today, though they will observe closures for upcoming holidays.
Today's weather looks to be typical May conditions for El Paso, so dress accordingly if you're heading out to any community events.
For those who love our city's unique history, don't forget that the Plaza Theatre tours provide a wonderful opportunity to connect with El Paso's architectural heritage, with today's tour starting at noon.
This has been El Paso Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
