County expects Emergency Operations Center finished in about 10 weeks; A/V pricing still under review

Hancock County Commissioners · August 4, 2026

Summary

Facilities Director Dennis Walls told commissioners the county's Emergency Operations Center is nearing completion with an estimated 10-week finish; A/V pricing and scope remain under negotiation. Commissioners also discussed a potential State Police build-to-suit site at the Hancock property.

Dennis Walls, Facilities Director, told the Hancock County Commissioners that finishing touches on the new Emergency Operations Center (EOC) are underway and that he hopes "to have the EOC completed in approximately ten (10) weeks." Walls said the county has an A/V design but needs to resolve pricing and scope questions with the A/V design company at a scheduled Aug. 6 meeting.

Walls also reported progress at the Hancock site (Buildings C and D), noting new overhead doors and paving that has resisted washout. He said the county met with State Police and will meet again in September to discuss a possible "build-to-suit" proposal in which the State Police would develop the site and pay rent; commissioners said funding sources for such a project have not been determined.
