CONSTRUCTION PROJECT UPDATES
UPDATES
Public Works and Parks & Recreation staff have officially moved into the new Heath Services Center.
This state-of-the-art facility is located on City-owned property at 1284 FM 740, the same site where the new Department of Public Safety Station #30 is under construction.
For more than 20 years, some of the City’s most important investments, including equipment, vehicles and staff, were housed in an aging structure on this site. The building had deteriorated to the point that our staff needed to move into a temporary facility while the new Services Center was being built.
The old facility also housed our SCADA system, the technology that serves as the brain of Heath’s water system.
Today, this critical infrastructure is safely housed in the modern, secure Heath Services Building, which also provides much-needed improvements in office space, storage and training areas for our staff.
Just as importantly, employees now have the accommodations needed when responding to emergencies and around-the-clock incidents, including severe weather.
Construction is moving along at the new Public Works Facility. Crews are putting up the roof and framing out the interior office walls, while erectors continue installing the exterior walls, and electricians are on site. Concrete and driveway work continues as weather allows.
Construction is progressing with steel framing and site work, including grading the driveway to support temporary storage of the new fire engines for Station 31. The 13,260-square-foot facility is on track for completion in the Spring of 2026.
The project remains on track to be completed in late Spring 2026.
Freeman Millican designed a new Public Works Facility in 2024. The project was bid and awarded to JC Commercial for construction.
Construction of the 13, 260-square-foot-facility began in March 2025. The total cost is $410,000.00 for professional services and $4,728,232 for construction. It is funded through CO bonds issued in 2023.

City leaders and dignitaries from neighboring Cities, County and State level break ground for new Public Works facility.
The City hosted a Groundbreaking Ceremony for the new Public Works Facility.
We thank everyone who attended to help celebrate this much-needed improvement and honor the hard-working, valued Public Works Team.
The old home in the background has served as headquarters for the Public Works staff, equipment and vehicles for over 20 years. It will be knocked down and replaced with a new 7,200 square foot facility! The Public Works property is located on FM 740 south towards Forney. The new facility should be completed this fall, weather permitting. The City also thanks the Heath Economic Development and Municipal Benefits Corporations for helping to fund this improvement through local sales tax dollars.
In 2023, the City Council adopted a budget that incorporates $30.5 million in bonds to fund the construction of a new Department of Public Safety station and a Public Works facility, and the renovation of Towne Center Park. Due to a funding partnership between the Heath Municipal Benefits Corporation (HMBC) and the City, these projects will be funded without an increase to the tax rate.
The new Public Works facility is being built on the current City-owned site at 1284 FM 740. Weather permitting, construction should be completed by March 2026.
