Construction has started on the East County Regional Service Center, a $7.5 million county project expected to be completed in late 2017.
The 35,925-square-foot building is located on Baker Street and Michigan Avenue, adjacent to the existing Plant City Courthouse, which was the first phase of the two-phase project. Additional parking is being built to accommodate both facilities.
The center will house the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s communication station, the Property Appraiser Branch Office, the Clerk of Circuit Court Support Services, the Hillsborough County Health Department WIC program and various other Hillsborough County agencies.
No new additions are being made to the Plant City Courthouse.
