Officials from Spartanburg County have announced that the project to build a city-county government building and courthouse will now be able to get underway.
The new leadership of Manning Lynch, Chairman of the County Council, and Cole Alverson, County Administrator, will now be able to oversee the $217m project. A penny sales tax was approved by voters to generate the revenue for the project. Alverson said that selecting a general contractor is the next step in the project.
The project entails building a new municipal court and police building, a joint city hall-county government complex, an emergency operations center, two parking garages, and a judicial center. Flyer printing can be used for such projects so residents can better understand their scope and scheduled opening dates.
The courthouse is the first part of the project to be finished by early next year. The new emergency operations center will be opened by mid-2021. Design of the municipal court and police building design is expected to be finished by early 2021, with two years to build it, and occupancy by early to mid-2023.
These projects will be followed by the design of the city/county government center, which will be 180,000 square feet in size, in fall 2020, and be ready for occupancy in early to mid-2024. The last phase is the parking garage, with design and construction starting in the spring of 2021 and lasting for two years.
