Suwannee County is planning a new regional emergency shelter. This facility will be approximately 125,000 square feet and designed to house about 1,436 evacuees. The project is funded by Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery funds from the State of Florida, Department of Commerce, with a total award of over $38 million. The shelter will be built on County-owned property located on US Highway 129. This project is currently under review for approval of a subrecipient agreement. Construction activities will likely include site preparation, foundation work, building erection, and interior finishing. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out to Suwannee County to learn more about potential opportunities as this project moves forward, as early engagement can provide an advantage before detailed plans and bids are finalized.
