$1 million grant approved for facility
Victoria County could have an emergency operations center capable of withstanding 170 mph winds by the start of the 2010 hurricane season.
The county has been approved for a $1 million U.S. Department of Homeland Security grant to help pay for the center. It will be in the basement of the courthouse annex…
The new center would be on an underground electrical grid, and it would have a generator for backup power. It also could provide room for an emergency center for Exelon if the company decides to build a nuclear plant in the county.
