ForGreer Project Update:
September has been a big month for two of the city’s biggest projects.
You can see the progress on the Public Safety Training Center if you drive by the site on Hood Road.
This week, crews started putting up the masonry on the outside of the main building which will house the indoor firing range, classroom training space, and offices.
