The center will be at the current Department of Roads location. The county will renovate unused space in the building to save money on its 25% out-of-pocket expense.  Federal grants provided the rest of the funding.

After construction is complete, Macomb County may look into contracting the center for its dispatch services, similar to city centers within Macomb County, to provide revenue for the county.

The operations center is currently scheduled for completion in December.
