Digital Survey of Tacoma Municipal Complex Will Use Drone Technology

Beginning the week of May 20, the City of Tacoma’s Public Works Department will work with a consultant to perform a digital survey of the exterior facades of the Tacoma Municipal Complex (747 Market St.). This survey will utilize drone technology and the results will be used to develop options for cleaning as well as identify any necessary refurbishments to the building.

The project is anticipated to take four weeks and will be performed during the day on weekends and weekdays. Work is weather dependent and rescheduling may be required. During this time, portions of the sidewalk around the building will be closed to pedestrian traffic and will be marked accordingly with detours in place.

Those with questions or concerns may contact Project Supervisor Stephen Kruger at (253) 591-5297 or skruger@cityoftacoma.org.
