At 1510 North Church Street, near Moses Cone Hospital, the City of Greensboro has a state-of-the-art Public Safety Training Facility. The 54,000 square foot building was completed in 2003, costing $8,000,000. Some days, when driving by, all seems quite. Other days, the facility is bustling with police and firefighters in training. Sometimes, the structure in front has fires that they are for training purposes. It is highly likely that those wooden palates will go up in flames when they are practicing. To be sure, with the recent storms and power outages, our very hardworking public servants put their skills into action, and for that, Greensboro is grateful.

If you have ever driven to Moses Cone Hospital or any of the nearby medical offices, it is highly likely that you have seen this facility.
