7 <br /> renovations have been completed at similar facilities in Buncombe and Polk Counties at <br /> a cost of $791 and $709 per square foot respectively. Since the Orange County facility <br /> will be new construction instead of a renovation, the cost per square foot would range <br /> from approximately $1,200 per square foot for hardened, secure spaces and $600 per <br /> square foot for general use space bringing the cost of construction to $39 million. <br /> • Link Center Renovation ($15.5 million) <br /> County staff are currently collaborating with the Sheriff's Office to relocate the Sheriff's <br /> Office from the Justice Centerto the Link Center.This renovation will provide appropriate <br /> space for existing Sheriff's Office functions while utilizing an existing County asset in <br /> need of extensive renewal. <br /> Once the renovation is complete, the CIP anticipates remodeling the existing Sheriff's <br /> Office in the Justice Center to accommodate other criminal justice functions such as the <br /> District Attorney's Office, the Public Defender's Office, and the Criminal Justice <br /> Resource Department at a total cost of approximately$4 million. This strategy provides <br /> space that is adequate to situate current staffing levels and averts the cost of <br /> constructing new facilities. <br /> Based on existing facility conditions and demand for services, the County's Long Range <br /> Facility Plan recommends other long term facility investments. These investments are <br /> detailed in the following table. <br /> County • - Facility Plan Projects <br /> Recommended 1 • CIP <br /> Year of Construction Project Amount <br /> FY2026-27 Link Center Renovation $15,514,576 <br /> FY2027-28 Emergency Services $48,360,000 <br /> Headquarters <br /> FY2028-29 Justice Center Renovation $3,936,312 <br /> FY2029-30 Cedar Grove Document $2,635,200 <br /> Storage <br /> FY2029-30 510 Meadowlands Admin. $3,641,385 <br /> FY2029-30 Southern Human Services $11,406,900 <br /> FY2030-31 Recreation Facility $21,630,703 <br /> FY2033-34 Deconstruct Old $1,095,784 <br /> Recreation Facility <br /> TOTAL $96,813,960 <br /> Page 5 <br />
