WakeGOV.com – NEWS: Wake to Hold Justice Center Groundbreaking
We are very excited to begin construction on the Justice Center,” said Wake County Board of Commissioners Chair Tony Gurley. “We have planned the facility very carefully and strategically for many years, and we are fortunate to be breaking ground at a time when we can build a large facility, like this one, for $22 million under the original estimate.
Saving money because of the down economy. Not a bad idea. Groundbreaking is on Monday, May 10th.
