The Clarence E. Lightner Public Safety Center would be a state-of-the-art facility of 16 stories and approximately 302,000 square feet on the corner of Hargett and McDowell streets. Sitting on what is currently the site of the City of Raleigh Police Department headquarters, the public safety center would consolidate the City’s public safety operations and other local government offices and functions in one location.
The public safety center is named in honor of the late Clarence E. Lightner, who served as mayor of Raleigh from 1973-75.
Here is additional information and press releases issued by the City about the proposed facility.
