DSS SECOND FLOOR UPFIT
CAPITAL PROJECT ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Commissioners of Harnett County, North Carolina, sitting as the governing
board for Harnett County.
Section 1. This project ordinance will organize the portion of the county's American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA)
allocation that was designated to the Department of Social Services (DSS) 2nd Floor Upfit. DSS has seen
significant impacts from COVID-19, including increases in staffing beyond current office space capacity, as
well as staff outbreaks which have required a staggered telework schedule at times. In 2020, a two-story
addition to the DSS building was completed. The second floor of the addition (approximately 5,000 square
feet) was left unfinished, pending future growth. The County conducted a space needs assessment in the
Spring of 2023 which expressed the need for the conversion of this shell space into office space to allow
social distancing and accommodate additional staffing. The first phase of this project will include contracting
with an architect to design a plan for the space, according to the needs outlined in the space needs
assessment.
