Description: Montgomery County has decided not to expand the existing facility at 734 University Boulevard East. DHHS staff indicated that there were significant cost increases over orginal estimates due to both project requirements and mandatory referral conditions. The project will now consist of interior renovations to the facility and security improvements to the grounds, including replacing the existing stockade fence and adding security lighting.
