Work progresses on new Dresden municipal complex

Construction of the new Dresden Municipal Complex is expected to be complete by the end of the year. At present, work is being done to finish the roofing and electric, plumbing, and gas utilities are nearly complete. The new complex is being constructed on the former site that was severely damaged by a tornado in 2021, along with much of downtown Dresden. The new municipal complex will include a new city hall, police department and fire department. The space includes offices, a courtroom, flexible meeting space, fire fighter sleeping quarters, a police patrol room, evidence room, storage/records rooms, and a community storm shelter.
