Project Description:
This project is to acquire the additional property needed to expand Cypress Camp, and thereby eliminate dangerous and inefficient overcrowding of the current property; to create a safer and more productive facility from which to operate.
Project Scope:
Precinct 3 will acquire a 3-acre parcel of land that is adjacent to the existing Cypress Camp.
