In November 2021 the voters of the City of Copperas Cove voted affirmatively to construct a new facility during a Special Bond Election. City Council authorized execution of a Professional Services Agreement with Brevard Architecture to develop the constructions plans in January 2022. Paragon Construction was engaged in February 2023 as the construction manager at risk for the project. The construction contract was later awarded to Paragon Construction by City Council on September 19, 2023, with the guaranteed maximum price of $4,401,057.49.
A Groundbreaking Ceremony was held on November 3, 2023 to commence the project, Construction was completed in February 2026 and over the past month our Team members have been transitioning into the new facility. Residents are encouraged to attend the ceremony, tour the new facility, and celebrate this exciting addition to the community.
