For decades, the city has been operating a police academy, a fire training complex and other facilities on a graveyard. The discovery last year of those unmarked graves dating back more than a century has prompted officials to craft plans to relocate at least five city-owned facilities.
) - For decades, the city has been operating a police academy, a fire training complex and other facilities on a graveyard.
Stimpson said the city halted construction on a planned expansion of fire training facility on Owens Street when workers uncovered human remains in January last year. The city evidently was not aware of those restrictions, or simply ignored them, when it started constructing buildings there in the 1960s. It now is the location of the fire training facility, the police academy, the animal shelter, the Mobile police Mounted Unit facility and a facilities maintenance building.
Stimpson said officials do not know the identities of the people buried on the site. The most likely explanation, he said, is that it was a potter’s field for poor people.
