The ceremony naming the building the Hazel Harvey Peace Center for Neighborhoods will begin at 10 a.m. at 818 Missouri Ave. The building's namesake was a highly respected Fort Worth educator and community leader.
The center will house the city's Code Compliance and Community Relations departments as well as offices for Police Department staff and Community Prosecutors. Completion is scheduled for late 2009.
