Elections office renovation to meet code and ADA, staff to stagger moves and hold stakeholder meeting
Summary
Capital projects staff said renovating the county building will require substantial code and ADA upgrades; the parking lot at 200 Alexander will be paved in 45–60 days and staff plan a stakeholder meeting once cost estimates arrive.
Capital‑projects staff told the board that converting a former manufacturing building into elections offices and conference space will require extensive work to meet building code and Americans with Disabilities Act standards. Mosley Design, with Josh Bennett named as a contact, is preparing schematic plans and price quotes.
Staff said the first renovation phase will move ARC Bell Academy and Wake Enterprises out of the areas to be renovated; the parking lot at 200 Alexander is scheduled to be paved and resealed in the next 45–60 days. Staff will hold a stakeholder meeting once cost estimates are available so officials and users can review plans and ask questions.
Contingency plans: staff confirmed they will keep the existing training room reservations for the year, use Integra online modules to supplement in‑person training, and may temporarily store new voting machines in county warehouse cages if on‑site storage isn’t ready.
Why it matters: Office renovations will affect where staff work and store equipment, and they create timelines and budget questions that intersect with training and machine deployment ahead of elections.
