     Paula Webb – Town Manager

    The final draft feasibility study was presented to the Board of Commissioners on July 10th, 2023.  The study included four options that capture the space needs in differing ways.  In all options the EOC will be designed as a highly secure and hardened facility capable of resisting Category 4 hurricane conditions.  Of those, Option C was most preferred by Staff because it provided drive-thru bays and allows for the existing building to be re-purposed in the future for another use.  The estimated cost for Option C - $9.3-12.6 million dollars.  SCIF Funding obtained total $6 million for this project.  Staff was directed to gather additional funding opportunities/resources.
