NEWNAN, Ga. -- The city of Newnan will hold an official ribbon cutting ceremony for its new Public Safety Complex on Friday, Jan. 30 at 11 a.m.

The new 37,000-square-foot facility is located at 1 Joseph Hannah Boulevard. It will contain the Newnan Police Department and Municipal Court, as well as additional office space, a training room, a squad room, a fitness center and a secure evidence storage space.

Members of the public are invited to attend an open house for the new facility on Saturday, Jan. 31 between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Tours and refreshments will be offered.

SPLOST money made it possible for the city to build the new complex.

"I would like to thank the citizens for supporting the SPLOST for the funds to build a new Public Safety Complex," Newnan Police Chief Buster Meadows said in a release. "This will help us to provide better service to our community and will be more user friendly than the present department."

NEWNAN, Ga. -- Thanks to SPLOST dollars, the city of Newnan was recently able to build a new complex for its police department.

The department will soon move out of the municipal building on Jefferson Street, turning the facility into a development project.

The city is inviting citizens to take a survey on what they would like to see the soon-to-be vacant building become. The Newnan Cultural Arts Commission hopes to use the space for more artistic endeavors in Coweta County.

"We hope citizens will take the time out to complete the survey and become actively involved in the process of planning for community art/technical opportunities that will be available to citizens," Newnan Cultural Arts Commission chairwoman Pamela Prange said in a statement. "This survey will help us develop a master plan which is a view into the future and it helps mold what this facility will look like."
