RENO, Nev. (AP) - The city of Reno is moving forward with a plan to buy a building housing a newspaper to use as its new police headquarters.
The city council voted Wednesday to proceed with negotiations to purchase the 7-acre (3-hectare) Reno Gazette Journal property for $7 million.
The city estimates that moving the police department to the more spacious property will cost about $33 million.
