New Public Safety Building In North Augusta Getting Closer To Opening

Spring of next year, the North Augusta Public Safety building could be open.

It's been a long time coming, but North Augusta's finest are about to have a new home. The new North Augusta Public Safety building is ahead of schedule and should be open before its December 2025 deadline, possibly by the Spring of next year.

The building they are now in was built in the 50's. I've been in it as a guest, not the other way. I want to make that clear!

North Augusta Is Growing

The new building will provide space for a new Courtroom, a large lobby with multiple clerk windows to serve the public, a new 911/Dispatch area, a state-of-the-art Emergency Operations Center, and Office space for Patrol, Investigation, and Administration team members. It will also include space for Secure Evidence, Police, and Court Records.

The new building is located on Georgia Avenue, and according to the North Augusta SC site, the 37,000 SF building will sit on almost 5 acres.

The new fire department on Martintown Road opened in 2022 and is about a block away.

Tee has worked with KICKS 99 for over 24 years as Operations Manager and Program Director and is on-air each afternoon 3p-7p. When he’s not working, you’ll find him traveling the back roads, taking pictures, and searching for the next dive diner. Favorite place to visit? That’s easy. Folly Beach, SC. He’s usually there at least a few times a year. He lives in North Augusta and on Saturdays in the fall, you’ll find him cooking out and watching his Clemson Tigers. Tee likes to write about travel, Augusta local dive bars and diners and destinations in the Carolinas, as well as new business.
