LONGVIEW, Texas — Longview leaders met Wednesday afternoon at the future site of a new Longview police department to mark the groundbreaking of the project.
"This is progress, this is what we do as a city," Longview Mayor Andy Mack said. "You either go forward or you go backward, and Longview is moving forward."
Funded from the 2018 bond election, the $33 million dollar project is not expected to be finished until late 2022.
