Faber Construction crews construct new Operations Center for Bellingham Public Works - My Bellingham Now

Bellingham, WALocal News

Faber Construction is actively constructing a new Operations Center for the Bellingham Public Works Department at 1410 Old Woburn Street, a project of notable local significance. This facility will provide essential storage for large road maintenance equipment, such as dump trucks and trailers, along with materials like sand, salt, and gravel. The historical context is compelling, as the site previously housed the original barn for Public Works equipment built 100 years ago. Notably, the new center is designed with future eco-friendly utilities in mind, including potential solar power installations and electric vehicle charging stations. In tandem with this construction, improvements to the local infrastructure will also occur, featuring a new bus stop and additional sidewalks slated for installation by the end of next month.

The completion date for the Operations Center is anticipated by June, reflecting the city's commitment to enhancing public services. This project not only addresses current operational needs but also aligns with sustainable development goals, making it a significant advancement for Bellingham. As such, the community can look forward to improved maintenance capabilities and enhanced public transportation options.
