Union County aimed to build a new 24,000 sq ft public safety facility for emergency management, fire marshal, and communications due to space limitations in existing facilities. MCP partnered with the County for project management, grant administration, expertise, and technology implementation. During construction, MCP advised on facility grounding, data center size, infrastructure needs, radio tower coordination, and 911 technology integration.

Sampson County previously used a National Guard Armory for Emergency Communications, Operations, and EMS, which had space limitations and flooding issues. With the assistance of MCP and a NC 911 grant, the County built a 36,000 sq ft emergency services center. This facility now houses the ECC, EOC, EMS, emergency management, fire marshal, and other key staff.

In 2010, FEMA’s CSEPP Program partnered with MCP to plan a new Emergency Services Center in Pueblo County, CO. MCP worked with county officials, securing federal funding for a 30,000 sq ft facility. The center housed a PSAP, EOC, JIC, training room, and public safety offices, designed for future tech needs, while adhering to strict safety standards from NFPA, FEMA, UFC-DoD, NIOSH, NENA, local and state building codes.

Iredell County collaborated with MCP for a new 39,000 sq ft facility. This space serves the County’s Emergency Services including 911, emergency management, fire services, and EMS. It benefits both the county and partnering communities. The facility includes a 911 answering point, data center, emergency operations center, an EMS station, and meeting spaces.
