Construction is underway on the City of Sanford's new Public Works Administration Building on Fulton Street. The Public Works Department has moved into the next phase after completion of a grant-funded contamination remediation project at the site. The facility is being designed and constructed to withstand a Category 4 hurricane and serve as a secure location for Public Works personnel during major storm events.
Positioning staff and critical resources at the facility during a hurricane is intended to allow the department to mobilize more quickly once conditions are safe, helping crews clear debris, open roadways, and restore access throughout the City. During normal operations, it will serve as the central home for Public Works leadership and administrative staff, including the Director, Managers, Superintendents, and administrative team. The site will also provide protected storage for heavy equipment and other essential resources.
The Public Works Department is working with Ovation Construction. Construction is anticipated to be completed in September 2027. The department looks forward to watching the investment in the City's infrastructure and emergency preparedness come to life.
