The process of reconfiguring the old Baltimore Sun building on North Calvert Street is getting pricey.

Just 16 months ago, the city said that making improvements to the space, in order to relocate the Baltimore Police Department’s Central District staff, would cost $1.8 million.

Tomorrow, the Board of Estimates is scheduled to reimburse the owner $4.1 million for unspecified improvements to a building that, standing vacant for several years, recently began housing about 170 police officers as well as fire and emergency management units.

One scenario under consideration is to house the 911/311 communications center, police forensic lab and other agencies in the building.. an April 22, 2020 press conference.
