Background and Discussion:
On March 27th, 2024, the Office of the County Engineer conducted a Downtown Space Planning Workshop to discuss current space concerns and future space planning needs and requirements. Stakeholders for this workshop included representatives from the District Attorney Office, Districts Courts, County Courts, Probate Courts, Public Defenders Office, County Auditor’s Office, and Human Resources & Risk Management. The selected consultant will support creating a masterplan to meet the space needs for departments located in downtown.
Expected Impact:
The Harris County Downtown Facilities Masterplan will identify, address, and provide recommendations for various space needs for the different county facilities and staff working in the Downtown Area.
Alternative Options:
The alternate option is to continue addressing issues regarding space needs for Harris County Downtown Facilities as they arise without planning and assessment tools in place to mitigate future issues before they arise.
