The City of Concord is set to conduct a public safety training exercise at City Hall on Wednesday, May 18, from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. This exercise will simulate an active threat scenario, aiming to provide first responders with enhanced hands-on training to bolster the city's emergency response preparedness.
During this period, Concord Police and Concord Fire personnel will be present in their emergency response vehicles and dressed in full uniform. To inform the public about the ongoing activity, signs will be placed outside City Hall indicating that a public safety training exercise is in progress.
Traffic on Market Street SW in Downtown Concord will be reduced to one lane for the duration of the event. Despite this adjustment, businesses along Market Street will remain accessible to both vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Additionally, the parking deck across from City Hall will stay open for public use by those visiting downtown shops and restaurants.
