PENDER COUNTY — Pender County government is kicking off the celebration of their newest infrastructure this week.
A ribbon cutting will take place at the Pender County Health and Human Services building at 298 Progress Drive in Burgaw on Thursday, May 28, at 10 a.m. The public is invited to tour the new 89,000-square-foot, multi-story, $40.5-million facility. Announced in 2022, the project brings the Pender County Health Department and Department of Social Services under one roof.
“This facility represents a major investment in the people of Pender County and reflects the Board of Commissioners’ commitment to providing spaces that better support county services, staff, and the community we serve,” County Manager Colby W. Sawyer said in a release.
The new site was built to accommodate Pender County’s projected growth over the next two decades and includes expanded visitation areas for families and a large multipurpose room capable of hosting up to 400 people.
Pender County Health and Human Services provides programs and services that support the health, safety, and well-being of residents. Services include public health programs, social services, dental care, immunizations, WIC, emergency assistance, Medicaid, child and family support, environmental health, outreach, education, and more
