The community is invited to attend a topping out ceremony at the new Cornelia Municipal Complex on September 6. The multi-million dollar facility is currently under construction. It consists of two buildings. The first is a combination city hall and police department. The second building will house the Cornelia Fire Department. Construction on the complex is expected to be completed by the end of next year.

The topping out event will commemorate the final beam being placed on top of the city hall structure. During the event people will be allowed to sign the beam.

“We are excited to be at this point in the project and to be able to share the opportunity to the public to forever be a part of this building by signing their name on it” Cornelia City Manager Dee Anderson says in a press release.

The ceremony is scheduled for 10 a.m. at the construction site at the corner of Foreacre and South Main Street in downtown Cornelia. Light refreshments will be served.
