The planned project will establish a new, essential services building for use as a substation in Nipomo by the Sheriff’s Office. The project will be delivered through the design-build project delivery method. When complete in 2028, the substation will serve the southern region of San Luis Obispo County.

As the community in the southern part of the county continues to experience growth in residential and commercial development, there is a corresponding need to enhance emergency services. Presently, the Oceano Substation is responsible for providing services to this area. However, the volume of service calls has more than doubled in the last 10 years, resulting in extended response times. The new Sheriff’s Nipomo Substation will reduce response times for both routine and emergency calls in the Nipomo area, thereby improving access to law enforcement services for the greater community.
