South SF To Demolish Police, 911 Dispatch Building In Ceremony

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO — The city's police operations and 911 dispatch center will be demolished Friday to make way for a new, state-of-the-art building, at a ceremony with city officials in attendance.

The city will knock down the existing building, site of the former Pet Club, to make way for a new, 44,000-square-foot police operations and 911 dispatch center, the city said.

The ceremony is set for 10 a.m. Friday at 1 Chestnut Avenue, with those in attendance including Mayor Rich Garbarino, police chief John Azzopardi and councilmembers.

The new building will be the first phase of a $210 million community civic campus project, the city said.
