It seems that the county’s co-located emergency communications center will be built at its current planned site after the Hays County Commissioners Court discussed a potential change of plans for the facility.
At its meeting Tuesday, the court took no action on a change of location for the center, which is currently planned to be constructed at 810 S. Stagecoach Trail, adjacent to the Hays County Government Center. However, concerns about flooding have arisen.
“The site of your government center is below the huge Purgatory Creek flood control dams,” Dianne Wassenich told the commissioners during public comments Tuesday morning. “... If you have an emergency center where people have to get there to work, or get out and shut the place down … then you have put the emergency center in a place that doesn’t make sense.”
