FULL STEAM AHEAD
Making tracks as the fastest-growing city in DeKalb County, Chamblee has unveiled its new City Hall at 3518 Broad Street, adding 29,700 square feet to the town center with an $18 million, three-story building on the site of the old Chamblee police station and Civic Center. The bustling hub—a stately brick beauty resembling a train depot in a nod to the city’s history—features a spacious lobby, council chambers for 180, community room accommodating 240, a courtyard, third-floor terrace and event lawn (check the calendar for the Summer Concert Series dates). “One of our goals with this building was to create an environment where everyone felt welcomed,” says Chamblee Mayor Brian Mock. “It has exceeded that expectation.”
