The City of Decatur’s Linda Harris sends along this announcement from The Decatur Minute…

The community is invited to the groundbreaking of the Beacon Municipal Center on Tuesday, May 7 at 8:30 a.m. (Meet at the Atlanta Avenue construction entrance).

The Beacon Municipal Center will house a new police department building, the renovated Ebster gym and Active Living center and the Central Office for City Schools of Decatur. The $38 million budget also includes a new stormwater management facility under Ebster field.

The project is scheduled to be completed in late spring of 2014.

Demolition already seems to be underway.  Patch has a couple of pics of the teardown of the old Police Department section of the Beacon Hill complex on its site today.
