Clayton Shares Plan For Southwest Public Safety Center With Community

CLAYTON – The Town of Clayton is improving public safety and supporting the community with the new Southwest Public Safety Center, which will strengthen fire and police services in the southwest part of Town. Residents are invited to a Community Engagement Meeting from 5 – 7 p.m., Thursday, January 22 at West Clayton Church of God (143 Short Johnson Road) to learn more about the project.

Town staff and project representatives will be at the event to share drawings of the facility, explain the design, answer questions, and hear feedback from the community. Visitors can see how the center will provide additional support for fire and police services and learn about the tools and resources that will help protect residents and property.

The Southwest Public Safety Center will bring fire and police operations together in one building. This shared facility is designed to improve emergency response times and provide spaces for training and preparation. It will include three bays for fire vehicles, areas for rope and ladder rescue training, and a training room that will also serve as the Town’s Emergency Operations Center.

The facility will cover 24,000 square feet and is anticipated to open in early 2028.
