Renovation of a municipal facility in Hagerstown, Maryland. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility.

The project involves the building expansion of the existing 911 Emergency Communication Center at Elliott Parkway. As the need for Fire, Police, and Emergency Services continue to grow, the need for the construction of a new or expanded ECC is needed in Washington County. The volume of calls the ECC receives is growing between 3-5% per year for the last 5 years. Currently the ECC receives close to 300,000 calls per year. Currently the ECC has 12 call taking/dispatch stations and with the proposed 32'x48' expansion the area would accommodate 24 call taking/dispatch stations to handle the expected volume of calls received. With the implementation of Next Generation 911 the volume of calls will increase in the ECC. This project is included in the county’s fy 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program. As of August 2, 2023, further details regarding design and construction timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
