Groundbreaking for the police station
Lakewood will finally have its own, centralized police station to replace offices scattered throughout the city and a main building that county government is reclaiming. The new building will be between the Y and the bus barns on Lakewood Drive, across from Seeley Lake. We had the groundbreaking Thursday morning. That's me there between Chief Larry Saunders and Councilwoman Claudia Thomas.
I have never been in a groundbreaking photo before - we ain't no big building government in Lakewood - but it was sure nice to be in this one. The 43,000-square-foot building should be finished in about eight months. It will be a fine home for the Lakewood Police Department.
