Paving and new construction of a mixed-use development in Roebuck, South Carolina. Working plans call for paving for a sidewalk / parking lot; and for the construction of a 45,000-square-foot fire / police facility.

Project Description and Justification This project will provide for development of a new Municipal Police Building. Currently, this function is co-located with City administrative functions in City Hall, located at 145 W. Broad Street. City Hall was constructed in the early 1960s and is more than 50 years old. The facility was constructed prior to modern codes and standards. The building has physical issues that impact operating requirements. Those issues include: inappropriate accessibility for mobility-impaired persons; insufficient power and data supply for modern technology; and inadequate heating, ventilation, and cooling. Nearly all components of City Hall are suffering from some degree of overcrowding, with the Police Department and Municipal Court in particularly inadequate space. Due to the nature of operations, functions such as the Police Department, Fire Department, and Municipal Court are not typically co-located with general governmental administrative functions, such as the City Council, Mayor, and Finance. A new Municipal Police Building would require approximately $13.1 million to construct. The Municipal Court is planned to be included in the Courthouse. Work on this project is currently underway. Programming is complete, property has been purchased, and geotechnical work and topographical surveys have been completed. The design phase of the project will begin upon completion of the Emergency Operations Center. As of May 23, 2022, this project is currently in the Spartanburg County's FY 2021-2025 CIP. Per the project manager, a design team and a general contractor have been selected. Project manager states that construction is likely to begin in fall of 2022. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
