Operations and Maintenance Facility

Summary

Conceptual Building Character

The city is designing and building an Operations and Maintenance Facility – commonly referred to as a Public Works Shop – on 4.8 acres just west of 244th Avenue near Northeast 18th Street. When finished, the shop will house trucks, backhoes, mowers and a variety of other city vehicles and tools, along with facilities for minor servicing of the city equipment. It will also house the city’s sign shop, and provide storage space for a variety of city materials. Between now and 2010, when the shop is expected to be completed, there will be ample opportunity for residents to provide feedback during open houses and public meetings.
