Lilburn will hold a brief ceremonial groundbreaking for the new Lilburn Police Headquarters at 6 p.m. Aug.13 at the new facility, 4572 Lawrenceville Highway.
The new headquarters will be more centrally located in the city and more visible to the general public, with thousands of vehicles passing the site each day. This new location will also allow easier access to and from Lawrenceville Highway, one of the main corridors of the city.
BM&K Construction was awarded the bid for construction of the project. The construction period for this $4.9 million project is expected to last twelve months. Precision Planning Inc., the design firm selected for the project, also designed the Lilburn City Hall/Library building which was completed in 2016.
The new Lilburn Police Department and Municipal Court building is a budgeted project that is 100 percent funded through SPLOST. The Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax is a one-cent sales tax approved by voters to be used for special projects, such as police and fire stations.
