Coppell council approves rezoning for $12M service center upgrades

In addition to the construction of a new building with 8,664 square feet of space, the project's scope includes an update to the current facilities, per city documents.

“I’m really excited about this project,” council member Kevin Nevels said. “This part of town needs a lot of love.”

The details

The Coppell Service Center is home to work crews for several departments: fleet, public works, streets, water utilities and community experiences. A fenced-in outdoor courtyard between the new building and existing service center, 22 trees, and a natural channel to filter out pollutants will also be included in the project, Senior Planner Mary Paron-Boswell said.

She added that the new building will include:

• Office and collaboration spaces
• A meeting room
• Restrooms
• A break room

What’s next?

With the zoning in place, the next step for council will be allocating funds to pay for the project. Per city documents, city staff plan to bring a request for funds to a future meeting, but no specific date was given.
