Manatee County (Fla.) has dedicated a new 100,000 square-foot Public Safety Center that is built with almost no windows to withstand a 200 mph hurricane’s blast. It has a steel skeleton wrapped with heavy brick and cinder block walls, housing the 911 center, county public safety operations and a traffic management center. Even though the building is finished, most agencies won’t move in for another year, officials say. Read a story, see a photo of the EOC here, and wonder why the ceilings are 24 feet tall.
