The 410 south 5th street building is the "home office" of MetroSafe. That is where the upper management has their offices. Thus, I'm presuming that's why it may be used as the address related to licensing.
When the new system comes on line next year, that is where the main dispatch center will be located. If they haven't already began the physical construction (doors, walls, floors etc), it won't be much longer.
The current dispatch center (which is where the hard working folks are), on Barrett Avenue, will be the back-up center when the new radio system goes into operation. It will be a fully operational back-up center. I've even heard some discussion about placing it into regular operation every now and then, just to be sure it all works.
Any new stuff going on right now radio-wise, could be related to the Thunder Over Louisville and Kentucky Derby stuff.
I would imagine that as time goes along and they get their architectural stuff done and new radio stuff in, they may well offer additional tours for amateur radio folks who play the important role that they do in major emergencies.
Right now, however, I'd say it is about as secure as it was when it was a Federal Reserve Bank building. I don't know what the heck they are made of, but the main doors gotta weigh a ton. They have a number of security folks working there watching all kinds of monitoring equipment.
