Driver's license office closing Friday after 32 years

Friday, December 28, 2012

For the last 32 years, the Dyer County Safety Complex on James H. Rice Road has been a place of joy for many 16-year-olds as they ventured into the building in the hopes of obtaining that small piece of plastic that allows them a bit of freedom: a driver's license. On Thursday, current and former employees of the Division of Driver's License, as well as a handful of Tennessee Highway Patrol troopers celebrated 32 years of memories at a luncheon before the facility closes. The building will issue its last licenses on Friday, as it will be closed to make way for a newer, state-of-the-art facility on Highway 51 and Forrest Avenue. THP will continue to use the facility as a station until the new facility is opened sometime next year.
