Summary

The Board authorized construction of the Brunswick Commons Resource Center renovation using prior CDBG technical assistance design funds; construction was scheduled to begin in early November with completion expected in April, and Phase 2 (transitional housing) remains future work.

The board held a public hearing and approved moving forward with Phase 1 construction of the Brunswick Commons Resource Center. Mike Dent, director of Child Support, Housing and Community Services, summarized the federal CDBG technical assistance grant ($250,000) that funded design and engineering; the county purchased a nearby parcel at 1105 Sutton Way using behavioral health infrastructure funds and repositioned the project site from the originally planned Old Town Road parcel.

Phase 1 construction (estimated at about $1.5 million) focuses on interior renovations (laundry, shower facilities, ADA accessibility improvements in the parking area) and was scheduled to start November 4 with expected completion by April. Staff noted a planned Phase 2 involving transitional housing units remains concept-level and is not part of the current actions. The board approved the construction authorization by roll call.
