Several members of the Bucks County Government recently broke ground on a new center in the area of Bristol Township.

Officials from the county gathered at the site of the Lower Bucks Government Services Center to ceremoniously begin the digging of the property.

Among those in attendance were Bucks County Commissioners Gene DiGirolamo, Bob Harvie, and Diane Ellis-Marseglia, along with David McHenry of Erdy McHenry Architecture.

Evan Stone, the Executive Director of the Bucks County Planning Commission, and Margie McKevitt, the Chief Operating Officer of the County of Bucks, were also in attendance with shovels in hand.

“For far too long, essential government offices and services have been difficult, if not impossible to access for too many residents of Bucks County,” McKevitt said.

“This administration considers it our obligation to ensure county government serves everyone who lives and works here, and we’re proud to be taking this tremendous step today toward meeting that goal.”

Departments with permanent offices in the new building will include Adult Probation, the Board of Elections, the Children & Youth Social Services Agency, and Consumer Protection/Weights & Measures, among others.
