                     The Master Plan - completed in 2018 - recommended advancing a new Consolidated Public Safety facility into the next step of the planning and design process (Phase 2) to house all the policing divisions of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

                     Lake County issued Statement of Interest Number18188 that included the County’s desire to contract with an architecture and engineering firm to provide comprehensive design services for a new Consolidated Public Safety Facility.

                     Notices were sent to 58 firms; responses were received from 10 firms.
