The City of Ocala is continuing its grant application process for the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) Grant. This grant aims to fund a Real Time Crime Center project. The project is currently pending, meaning it is in the early stages of the public process. If funded, this project would involve the setup and implementation of a new Real Time Crime Center. This could include technology installation, network setup, and potentially some minor construction or renovation to house the center. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in technology, electrical, and general construction could find opportunities. Reaching out now, while the grant application is pending, allows businesses to understand the project's potential scope and be prepared should the grant be approved and the project move forward.
