Project

Johnston County issued $16.5 million privately placed Limited Obligation Bonds in June 2022 to finance the construction of a new two story, approximately 63,000 square-foot public safety facility to house the County’s sheriff’s offices, emergency management operations (fire, EMS, etc.) and 9-1-1 communications.  The new public safety center is being constructed adjacent to the County’s new detention facility nearing construction completion and is necessary to alleviate overcrowding at the County’s courthouse in downtown Smithfield when these public safety agencies relocate to this new facility.
