This morning, Mayor Andre Dickens joined neighbors, City Councilmembers, and members of the Atlanta Police Department to celebrate the start of construction on a brand-new Zone 4 Precinct at 1053 Cascade Circle SW.
The two-story, 21,000-square-foot building will replace the existing facility and is being built with the community in mind. Designed to achieve LEED Silver certification and modeled on the success of the Zone 3 Precinct, it will include training and roll-call rooms, offices, locker space, fleet parking, and even its own fueling station. The project is funded through the $18.7 million Moving Atlanta Forward Bond program.
Mayor Dickens called today’s groundbreaking “promises made and promises kept.”
“We promised our officers modern facilities that meet their needs. We promised our community a precinct worthy of your trust and designed for your needs. Today, we deliver on those promises.”
Zone 4 covers some of Atlanta’s busiest neighborhoods, and this new precinct will help officers respond more quickly and work more effectively. Just as importantly, it represents a visible investment in the safety and well-being of Southwest Atlanta.
Mayor Dickens added, “Our officers deserve facilities that reflect the importance of the work they do in keeping our neighborhoods safe, and we will always make sure they have the tools and facilities needed to do their jobs safely and effectively.”
The groundbreaking is part of a bigger wave of public safety and community investments. Next week, construction will begin on Fire Station 25 on Benjamin E. Mays Drive SW. Recently, crews completed major upgrades to Cascade Road ahead of schedule, adding new pavement, sidewalks, bike lanes, and traffic signals. Work is also underway on the John A. White Golf and Senior Activity Center, which will give local seniors a new place for programs and activities.
Together, these projects show the City’s commitment to building One Safe City—a place where safety and quality of life go hand in hand, and where every resident can see the progress in their own neighborhood.
