Work continues at Dedham Public Safety Building site Common Content Despite the winter weather of late, construction continues at the site of Dedham's former Town Hall. The site is being cleared to construct a new combined public safety building, which will house the fire, police and dispatch departments. The new building will replace two older town buildings -- the police station built in 1962 at 600 High St., and the fire station built in 1930 at 436 Washington Street. The new public safety building is scheduled to open in fall 2022. The final project cost will be $55 million, which is the guaranteed maximum price the town will pay under the Construction-Manager-at-Risk contract structure.
