Washington County Board of County Commissioner President Jeffrey Cline and Commissioner Randy Wagner were in attendance to welcome state officials.

County Administrator Rob Slocum said, "Public Safety on Interstates 70 and 81 are among our largest concerns shared with MDOT. The County looks to advance Interstate safety and incident response with state partnerships and federal assistance. The new public safety training center presents an opportunity for state and local government to take a proactive approach to incident response. We’ve advanced projects like Crayton Boulevard, the Professional Boulevard Bridge, Colonel Henry K. Douglas Boulevard and Halfway Boulevard with state and federal funding partnerships. We can do more together with the new Public Safety Training Center."
