The city's new public safety building expands and energizes New Brunswick's government district, blending historical renovation with new construction. The redevelopment project brought together the city, the county, and the federal government, as well as public and private developers, to create cost-effective and efficient work environments while extending the nucleus of the city's downtown revitalization effort. Government services are now located in a more convenient, attractive, and accessible environment and high security functions are now contained in a separate and secure structure.
