Construction on Dane County facilities begins, creates 376 jobs

Officials broke ground on Dane County East District Campus, beginning construction on the Regional Medical Examiner’s Complex and the East District Highway facility, according to a release.

The Medical Examiner’s Complex will coordinate death investigations and help law enforcement agencies from various Wisconsin counties. The East District Highway facility is a highway garage that will provide storage for nearly 70 vehicles. According to the release, both will include a number of “green” features.

“We look forward to working with the county, your architects and all of the subs to make this project a great success and both of these buildings something to be proud of for many years to come,” said President and CEO of Camosy Construction John P. Camosy.

The construction created 376 jobs, and Project Big Step will host a construction recruitment from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday to find workers for the project.
