This Master Plan provides Dodge County with essential information to formulate a long-range strategy for modernizing its campus facilities and services. It assesses current conditions across various departments, including Administration, Henry Dodge, Sheriff's Department, Jail, and Justice Center, highlighting critical issues such as aging infrastructure, spatial inefficiencies, and safety concerns. The plan outlines five strategic options, ranging from new construction and renovation to consolidation, aiming to improve operational efficiencies, achieve building standards and codes, integrate technology, and meet the evolving needs of constituents. The ultimate vision is to enable the County Board to prioritize projects, optimize tax dollar spending, and move towards a unified, implementable plan that results in a modernized, consolidated, and efficient county campus.
