4 <br /> • Offer land to a public non-profit or private developer to build affordable housing. This <br /> option would necessitate the construction of a new facility to house AMS administrative <br /> staff and maintenance shops ($3.6M). In addition, vital document storage would need to <br /> be created at Cedar Grove Community Center (50k). <br /> • If the timeline to build affordable housing can wait until a new Emergency Management <br /> facility is built, AMS could backfill into the current Emergency Management facility. <br /> Recommendation: Offer land to a public non-profit or private developer to build affordable <br /> housing. Construct new AMS offices adjacent to the Maintenance Building located at 600 Highway <br /> 86 North, Hillsborough. If the timeline for affordable housing can wait until a new Emergency <br /> Management facility is constructed, AMS administrative staff could backfill into the current <br /> Emergency Management facility. <br /> Item #4: Sheriff's Office, 106 East Margaret Street, Hillsborough <br /> The space planning analysis determined that the layouts of the District and Superior Courts within <br /> the Justice Center were deficient and required major re-design to meet industry standards. In <br /> addition, the Sheriff's Office, currently located within the Justice Center, is projected to grow <br /> significantly by 15,191 gross square feet within the planning period. The following options were <br /> developed to address this situation: <br /> • Move the Sheriff's Office out of the Justice Center to accommodate growth/reconfiguration <br /> of the courts. Construct a new 31,000 gross square foot Sheriff's Office facility on County <br /> owned property adjacent to the Motor Pool located at 600 Highway 86 North, Hillsborough. <br /> ($17.68M). <br /> • Construct a building addition to the Justice Center for Sheriff and Justice Center ($25M). <br /> Recommendation: Construct new Sheriff's Office on County owned land adjacent to the Motor <br /> Pool Facility. ($17.68M). <br /> Item #5: Emergency Management Building, 510 Meadowlands Drive, Hillsborough <br /> This 22,069 gross square foot office/warehouse facility siting on 3 acres of land was purchased <br /> and renovated for County occupancy in 2008. In 2019, the facility was renovated to address <br /> environmental issues, but some issues persist to this day. The existing facility does not meet <br /> industry standards for safety and security, and the building site will not be able to accommodate <br /> projected growth of 22,000 gross square feet by 2040. Options for this department include: <br /> • Build a modern, 44,000 gross square foot Emergency Management facility on County <br /> owned land adjacent to the Motor Pool located at 600 Highway 86 North, Hillsborough. <br /> Cost Estimated at ($28M). <br /> • Remain at current location and build a small addition/annex nearby as the existing site will <br /> not accommodate the projected growth, ($10.4M). <br /> Recommendation: Construct new Emergency Management building on County owned land <br /> adjacent to the Motor Pool facility ($28M). Utilize 510 Meadowlands Drive for County storage <br /> needs and swing space for construction. <br /> Item #6: Central Recreation Center, 301 West Tryon Street, Hillsborough <br /> Constructed in 1957, this 19,000 gross square foot facility is outdated and in poor shape, suffering <br /> from structural integrity issues, and lacking adequate Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) <br />
