A video surveillance and access control system will be added to Washington County buildings.

At Tuesday’s Washington County Board of Supervisors meeting, the board unanimously approved a contract with RSG Design Inc. for the comprehensive county plan. Supervisor Jack Seward explained it will be phased in and that will also spread out the cost, “My understanding that it’s counted as part of the planning, but implementation would not take place. So, the plan and everybody it’s serving is all integrated is there,” and Abe Miller added, “They can subtract and add kind of, or whatever they feel like.” The entire plan was for $397,010 but the total implementation will be phased in and scaled back. The plan covers the courthouse, the McCreedy building, HACAP, the sheriff’s office, jail, county road department shops, and emergency management.
