Site work and new construction of a medical facility in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a medical facility; and for site work for a medical facility.

The Emergency Services Department has been headquartered at 510 Meadowlands Drive since 2009. The County's Long Range Facility Master Plan recommended replacing this facility with a new headquarters in order to meet security standards for emergency communications and emergency operations centers. The facility current facility has also reached maximum occupancy , and growth is projected to occur over the next 10 years as the County's population ages and grows. Consistent with new facility guidelines, the new facility will include solar energy, geothermal heating and cooling, and advanced sustainable building features. The budget also includes equipment, furniture, fixtures, and all necessary equipment for the new Emergency Services Headquarters. FY2026-2027 funding is for the professional services with construction in FY2027-2028. The Emergency Services headquarters project will also be designed to include an embedded EMS substation to serve northern Orange County which eliminates the need for a stand alone substation that was included in prior Capital Investment Plans. The embedded EMS station is approximately half of the cost for that was projected for a stand-alone station. The Rogers Road Community Center opened in 2014 and is operated according to an Operating Agreement with the Rogers-Eubanks Neighborhood Association (RENA). In FY2022-2023, a feasibility study of the existing facility was completed. The study concluded that RENA is in need of additional space to continue operating and expanding its programming to the surrounding community. The scope of this project would include additional classroom space with appropriate storage and meeting facilities for support community groups. Finally, a commercial kitchen could be used to increase productivity, provide support during weather emergencies, and train those looking to enter the food service industry. Consistent with the financial arrangement used to build the initial Community Center, the County will seek a cost-sharing agreement with Chapel Hill and Carrboro. As of February 3, 2025, this project is included in the Orange County Fiscal Year 2024-2034 CIP.
