Groundbreaking scheduled for Orange County Northern Campus on Thursday

Orange County officials will gather at the future site of the Orange County Northern Campus on Thursday for a ceremonial groundbreaking.

The Campus, located off of Highway 70 in Hillsborough, is intended to include a replacement Detention Center, Environment and Agriculture Center, and Parks Operations Base.

In February 2019, the Board of Commissioners reviewed schematic design cost estimates for the Northern County Campus and authorized a total budget of $40.2 million. Final completion is scheduled for May 9, 2021. Bordeaux Construction is serving as the Construction Manager at Risk for the project.

The public is invited to the groundbreaking.
