Hancock Neighborhood Association Minutes
May 16, 2018
1. Mark Harkrider, welcomed our guest
speakers from the Texas Facilities
Commission who spoke about the
construction of the 1st phase of the Health &
Human Services 406,000 ft building on
North Lamar across from the Triangle.
Construction will begin June, 2018 and
completed December, 2018. The building
will be nine levels and expected to
accommodate 1,525 full time employees; in
addition, there will be a seven level parking
garage which will accommodate 1,866 cars.
It is being built to consolidate, under one
roof, many of the State employees who
currently are spread throughout the city.
There are three phases proposed that is, two
more buildings, however, this is the only
building approved by the legislature at this
time.
The Facilities Commission stated it is trying
to obtain a waiver from the Occupation
Safety agency to turn–off the
back-up beepers on the trucks so to lessen
the noise disturbance; they recognize the
construction lights at night also will be a
disturbance to neighbors. Trucks will be
using #283, Lamar, 51st and 45th (yikes) to
get to the site.
Future employees of the building, who drive
to work, will be coming from all directions
and using many different roadways.
