The project, which has been allocated $18.8 million, aims to replace the original precinct built 41 years ago, providing modern amenities and facilities for officers.
“This is important for me because this is the community, Zone 4 community that raised me,” said Mayor Andre Dickens, who participated in the groundbreaking ceremony.
The new precinct will feature a 21,000 square foot, two-story building equipped with roll call rooms, training rooms, officer lockers, and a fueling station.
This will allow officers to maximize their patrol time by refueling on-site.

Construction is expected to take about 15 months. During this period, Zone 4 officers will operate out of a temporary location on York Avenue, near the West End.
The development of the new precinct is part of a broader effort to rejuvenate Southwest Atlanta, which has recently seen the reopening of Cascade Road after extensive construction.
In addition to the precinct, a new golf and senior center is under construction at John A. White Park, further contributing to the area’s transformation.
