VERONA, Va – Renovations to the Augusta County Government Center in Verona that will expand the usable space for five departments and numerous services are underway. 

Demolition work for ECC’s expansion started in February 2023 with growing needs in the Emergency Communications Center prompting the initial need for the building’s renovations. At the same time, the Parks and Recreation department was struggling to make their space continue to work for them. The renovations will allow for more space all around – for the County Attorney, Finance, and HR offices as well as Parks and Rec and ECC. 

The renovations are being funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and the estimated cost is $3,124,900 (with a 10% contingency).
