A county staff member announced that the Steven M. Morris Regional Behavioral Health Center is nearing completion and will open to the community once final inspections and installations are finished.
"Big things are coming together at the new Steven M. Morris Regional Behavioral Health Center," the staff member said, reporting a final walkthrough with the civil engineer and that landscape and interior work are effectively complete. Outside the building is essentially finished, crews are moving through the architectural punch list, and inside, final safety checks are underway.
The speaker said Charlotte-based muralists Jen and Liz have begun work on courtyard artwork intended to add welcoming touches to the facility. Over the next few weeks, the county expects to bring in furniture, fixtures and equipment and to complete required inspections before opening.
The speaker directed residents seeking details about services or timelines to progressstartshere.org for more information.
The update did not include a target opening date or detailed cost or staffing information for the center; those items were not specified in the remarks.
The meeting then moved on to other agenda items, including a personnel appointment.
