Funding supports planning, design, and construction of needed improvements at this depot. The county will install water and sewer improvements needed to operate the facility. Work includes the installation of portable buildings on the southeast asphalt area of the site and reconfiguration of parking and vehicle circulation areas. The buildings will provide sleeping areas, an administrative office, locker rooms, and restrooms. The buildings will be equipped with a fire suppression system as required for dormitory use. The project will also utilize a portable building as administrative office space.

Planning, design, supervision, site improvements and construction are scheduled for completion in FY26.

The Poolesville Depot is an aging and inadequate facility that no longer meets modern building codes, safety standards, or operational needs. Key deficiencies include outdated electrical systems, lack of fire suppression, ADA non-compliance, poor ventilation, insufficient IT infrastructure, and inadequate space for staff, equipment, and storage. These limitations negatively impact employee safety, efficiency, and the ability to effectively support maintenance operations-particularly during emergency and winter weather events. Overall, the assessment indicates the facility requires significant upgrades or replacement to meet current and future operational demands.

FY26 supplemental in G.O. Bonds for the amount of $500,000.
