County presents Expo Hall: a 15,000‑square‑foot, grant‑funded all‑hazard shelter
Summary
County emergency management described the Flagler County Expo Hall under construction at 170 Sawgrass Road: roughly 15,000 sq ft, 100% grant-funded, designed as an all‑hazard shelter with a high wind rating and estimated completion in summer.
County emergency management staff presented details on the Flagler County Expo Hall, a multipurpose facility under construction the presenter gave as 170 Sawgrass Road.
“From a size standpoint, we're looking at approximately ... a little over 15,000 square feet,” Ryan Simpson of county emergency management said, and described a roughly 10,000-square-foot multipurpose space, a 548-square-foot lobby and associated storage. He said the project is being built as an all-hazard shelter and is 100% grant funded.
Simpson said exterior construction is advancing (metal framing and slab work were underway) and estimated the facility’s completion in summer (the presenter referenced June as an estimated milestone). He added that the building includes restrooms and showers and that adjacent paved service areas could support disaster equipment hookups.
The presentation noted the facility’s design standard for high-wind conditions; presenters said the building would support shelter operations during severe weather.
What happens next: presenters invited residents to ask staff questions during the meeting’s Q&A and said progress would be documented and made available as construction continues.
