Cornelia will break ground on a new municipal complex on Tuesday, March 19.
The buildings, once completed, will be the result of months of work between multiple organizations and years of research, planning, and development, according to city officials.
The project includes construction of a stand-alone fire facility that will replace the existing fire station located off of South Main Street along with a new City Hall and Police Complex. The new structures will feature increased security for the public safety areas as well as improved administration areas for City Hall.
“This project is long overdue. The city has discussed the need for a new City Hall for over 20 years. The new facilities have been designed to accommodate growth and serve the city’s needs for at least the next 50 years,” says Cornelia City Manager Donald Anderson.
The City of Cornelia has selected Jericho Design Group, Carter & Slope Engineering, and Cooper & Company General Contractors as their partners on this project.
Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2020.
The groundbreaking ceremony will be held at 156 Foreacre Street at noon on Tuesday, March 19. The public is welcome to attend.
