No Council Vote Taken On Public Safety Center Project
The Raleigh City Council on Feb. 2 asked for additional information on the planned Clarence E. Lightner Public Safety Center. No vote was taken on the project. Council members will resume discussion on the public safety center at their Feb. 16 meeting.
The Clarence E. Lightner Public Safety Center would be a state-of-the-art facility of 16 stories and approximately 302,000 square feet on the corner of Hargett and McDowell streets. Sitting on what is currently the site of the City of Raleigh Police Department headquarters, the public safety center would consolidate the City’s public safety operations and other local government offices and functions in one location.
The public safety center is named in honor of the late Clarence E. Lightner, who served as mayor of Raleigh from 1973-75.
