Granville County Commissioners, as well as representatives of the Sheriff’s Department, Animal Management, 911 Communications, Information Technology, the court system and county administration, toured the new Law Enforcement Center/Animal Shelter last week to get a first-hand look at the progress being made on both projects.

The new facility is located at 525 New Commerce Drive in Oxford, NC.

Scott Phillips, director of Granville County Development Services, led the group and explained that construction will be completed on time and on budget.

Move-in for the Sheriff’s Office is expected to begin in late-June of this year, with the Animal Management staff and 911 Communications to move in shortly after. The Detention Center will be the last phase of transition from existing to new facilities.

A groundbreaking ceremony for construction was held on March 12, 2019.
