Members of the Dobbins Chapel Foundation saw more than seven years of work culminate Sunday morning.
After Col. Tim Tarchick, commander of Dobbins Air Reserve Base, received proper clearance, the chapel was off on its two mile journey across the complex's runway to a spot at the Clay National Guard Center.
Tarchick said the chapel needed to be moved because of post-Sept. 11 security demands that Dobbins build a new access road right where the building had been located since 1950.
The Marietta Daily Journal reports that the building's future was in question since no federal funds can be spent on a chapel at a reserve base.
