Hound Ears officials and planners broke ground this morning on a new facility to house the gated commuunity's new security office

The project will replace the current security office, seen in the background, a facility subject to flooding and much too small for the needs of the officers who serve the community.  Officials say that the current building has been in use for 45 to 50 years.  Hopes are to have the new security office open in early 2010.
