Ribbon Cutting for New Police Headquarters Approaches
The newly constructed building replaces a repurposed office building that has become cramped in recent years.
The Acworth Police Department will soon be moving in to its new home, and wants to invite the community to celebrate the ribbon cutting.
On Oct. 8, the department’s brand new headquarters building at 4400 Acworth Industrial Drive will be opened to the public from 3 to 8 p.m. Residents will be given a chance to explore the 22,000 sq. ft. space which was built with $3.8 million in SPLOST funds. The last police station built to that purpose was constructed in 1934 with New Deal money, The Marietta Daily Journal reports.
In 1995, the department moved from the 1934 building to a repurposed office building, but in the last decade the department outgrew that space. The growth of the department has paced the growth of the city, which is the fastest growing in Cobb County.
