Venue Tour:

Plan to stay around after the Lunch and Learn for a tour of the Public Safety Center featuring their impressive, high tech conference room.

Directions:

The location is a little off the beaten path but easy to access. The easiest way to find it might be to put the intersection of Columbia Ave. and Beasley Dr. into your GPS and then follow these steps:

• From Columbia Ave., head West on Beasley Drive.

• Turn right on Charles R. Meek Drive, toward the end of Beasley. This is a private road and the name may not show up on your GPS. It is just before a single story brick building that has a large blue building behind it.

• On your left past the blue building you will see a large building surrounded by a black fence, this is the Public Safety Center.

• Continue around the building and you will come to the entrance to guest parking.

• As you walk toward the building, use the far left entrance next to the flagpoles.

The location is easy to access, but isn't marked as clearly as it could be. We plan to have signs and/or people out to help point in the right direction.
