The speakers included Chairman Hugh Foskey, County Guy Singletary, 911 Director Martha Culbreath, Public Safety Coordinator Courtney Terwilliger and Facility Superintendent Mike Head.
“It’s been a project that we’ve been planning for the last five years. It was very much needed in this community. It is the hub for public safety, and it will be an asset for years to come,” said Singletary.
County officials say the building will house the public safety office, 911, emergency operations and training center for public safety.
Emanuel County Chief Deputy Nick Robertson, Major West Bedgood, Deputy Mark Walden and Warrant Clerk Regina Jones also attend the ceremony.
Singletary says the project was done with contractors and inmate workers.
