“The new Emergency Services Headquarters will amplify our ability to provide a high level of service for Henderson County,” said Henderson County’s new Emergency Services Director, Jimmy Brissie.
Planning for this project began in 2014. The new facility will be located on the site of the former Balfour Education Center.
