The Raleigh City Council today remained deadlocked on the planned Clarence E.  Lightner Public Safety Center. Council members voted 4-4 on a proposal to fund the project. The proposal failed as at least five votes are needed for approval.

Voting in favor of the project were Mayor Charles Meeker and Council Members Mary-Ann Baldwin, Nancy McFarlane and James West. Voting against were Council Members Thomas Crowder, Bonner Gaylord, John Odom and Russ Stephenson.

As proposed, 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 would be named in honor of the late Clarence E. Lightner, who served as mayor of Raleigh from 1973-75.

  1. I found this post while searching google. Quite surprising too, since google tends to display relatively old results but this one is very recent! Anyway, quite informative, especially since this is not a subject a lot of people can write something decent about. Take care…

    Our goal is to provide information to the public that large media conglomerates deem “not newsworthy,” but we see it differently, and apparently you did as well.
    Thanks for the thumbs up.
