• Old Jail Elevator Modernization
This project involves the full modernization of the elevator system at the Wilson County Old Jail facility. The scope of work includes the replacement of key mechanical and electrical components, modernization of the control system, and upgrades to cab interiors and safety features. The updated elevator system will improve operational reliability, comply with modern building codes, and enhance the overall functionality of the facility.
This project proposes a complete redesign and resurfacing of the parking lot at the Wilson County Health Department to improve traffic flow, safety, and overall functionality for both patients and staff. In addition to repaving the deteriorating surface, the redesign will address longstanding circulation issues by modifying entrance and exit points, implementing clearer directional signage, and potentially reconfiguring parking areas. The updated layout will enhance vehicular movement around the building and improve pedestrian safety, especially at key access points to the facility. As part of the redesign, parking areas will be designated separately for employees and patients—placing staff parking at the rear of the building and reserving the front lot for patient and visitor access.
This project entails the complete replacement of the roof system at the Wilson County Emergency Services Facility (ESF). The existing roof has reached the end of its useful life and requires replacement to maintain the structural integrity and operational reliability of the facility. The scope of work includes removal of the existing roofing materials, inspection and repair of the underlying structure as needed, and installation of a new, high-performance roofing system designed to meet current building standards and provide long-term durability. The project will also include appropriate flashing, insulation, and drainage improvements to ensure proper water management and weather resistance.
This project will be coordinated with the Health Department Parking Lot project and involves the full paving and rehabilitation of the parking lot at the Wilson County Emergency Services Facility (ESF). The scope of work includes the removal of damaged and deteriorated asphalt, regrading of the sub-base where necessary, and installation of new asphalt pavement to restore surface integrity. The project will also include restriping of parking spaces, enhancements to drainage as needed, and updates to meet ADA accessibility requirements. The goal is to provide a safe, functional, and durable parking area for emergency personnel, vehicles, and visitors.
• Tax Office Window Replacement
• Ag Center HVAC Unit Replacement
This project involves the replacement of aging HVAC units and boilers at the Wilson County Agriculture Center to ensure reliable and energy-efficient climate control throughout the facility. The scope includes the removal of outdated heating and cooling equipment and the installation of new, high-efficiency units that meet modern performance and environmental standards. The upgraded system will provide consistent temperature regulation across office areas, meeting rooms, and public event spaces used by agricultural staff, community members, and partner agencies.
This project involves the replacement of the existing boiler and associated circulation pumps at the Wilson County Department of Social Services (DSS) facility. The current boiler system provides essential heating throughout the building and is a critical component of the HVAC infrastructure. The scope of work includes the removal of the outdated boiler unit, replacement of worn or inefficient pumps, and installation of a modern, energy-efficient boiler system that meets current safety and performance standards. This upgrade will improve temperature control, operational reliability, and energy efficiency across the facility.
An HVAC Air Handling Unit (AHU), or “air handler,” is a vital mechanical system that ensures proper indoor air quality and comfort by drawing in outside and return air, filtering and conditioning it (heating, cooling, humidifying, or dehumidifying), and distributing it throughout the building via ductwork. Within the library, the AHU continuously supplies fresh, climate-controlled air to reading areas, meeting rooms, staff offices, and storage spaces, while also maintaining appropriate humidity and filtration levels to protect library materials and safeguard the health of visitors and staff.
• EMS East Station
We are currently in the planning and design phase for the new EMS East Station, which will be located at the corner of U.S. 264 Alternate and Landfill Road. This site is diagonal from the East Nash Volunteer Fire Department where Wilson County EMS currently rents to operate ambulances on the east side of the county. The project went out for construction bids in April 2025. Once completed, this station will handle around 10% of the county’s total EMS calls. This project is being funded in part by $1.0 million from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), highlighting our commitment to improving emergency services for the community.
• Sheriff's Office Training Facility
The proposed Sheriff's Department Training Facility is located off Commerce Road in Wilson County. It will feature a training center, including an indoor training area and an additional classroom space. The project is expected to break ground in July 2025. This project is being funded by $2 million from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Once completed, the training center will provide a dedicated space to enhance the skills and preparedness of our officers, ensuring they can continue to serve and protect our community effectively.
