The Lilburn City Council voted unanimously Monday to approve a contract with Precision Planning Inc. for professional design services for the future Police and Municipal Court headquarters. The same company also designed the new Lilburn City Hall-Library, so money and time can be saved by using many of the same design elements.

The new police station will be located on previously purchased property on Lawrenceville Highway next to Lilburn Commons. Contract fees for the design services will not exceed $275,000, and design completion is expected within six months. Design and construction will be funded by the 2017 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax.
