Greenwood Police Station Behind Schedule

All the rain that the area has received has put the new $2.8 million Greenwood Police Head- quarters project behind schedule.  However, the architect said the inside is 95% complete.  It was set to be completed in July, but has been delayed until the end of August.

The 10,500 sq ft facility is located on Old Hackett Road.  It will contain an evidence process- ing lab, two holding cells, two interview rooms, as well as a state of the art training room.  According to Police Chief Will Dawson, with the passing of a quarter-cent sales tax, they were able to obtain bonds to do the project.  The tax will sunset as soon as it is paid off.

He said after they get moved into the new facility, there will be two open houses held.  One for the general public, with the other for kids to tour the new headquarters.
