Dallas County has broken ground on an emergency operations center near Highway 183 and Mockingbird. The $40 million project will cover 37,000 square feet.
The emergency operations center gives local, state and federal government agencies a chance to work together on responses to natural disasters, manmade disasters and public health issues. In 2015, Judge Clay Jenkins says Dallas County's EOC moved from a "complete dump" in the Records Building to a former warehouse west of Downtown.
