The excitement about the new building kicked off with the groundbreaking ceremony on June 11, 2024, and by September 18th, the outer walls began to rise! We’re eagerly anticipating the grand opening to the public, set to be announced in August.
On Tuesday, the Commissioners Court toured the new facility. “I’m excited to see this project nearing completion,” said Commissioner Dana Macalik. “This single location will better serve our citizens, prioritizing accessibility and service.” Funding for this essential project comes from the American Rescue Plan Act.
