Adolfson & Peterson Construction (AP) has recently begun construction on a new Government Center building for Dallas County.<\/p>\n

The project will feature a two-story, 3,623-m\u00b2 (39,000-sf) office building with extensive on-site and off-site improvements.<\/p>\n

The East Dallas Government Center will accommodate several Dallas County departments, including the Constable, Juvenile Probation, Justice of the Peace Court, Passport and Facilities, as well as offices for District 1 Commissioner Dr. Theresa Daniel.<\/p>\n

The building is designed to enhance the County\u2019s ability to deliver efficient services to residents and provide a modern working environment for county employees.<\/p>\n

The project team is targeting a LEED Silver Certification and will have a solar energy installation capable of powering the entire facility.<\/p>\n

The project is set for completion in summer 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
