In late 2023, Franklin County selected JF Scott Construction as Construction Manager on their new Emergency Operations Center in Farmington. JF Scott Construction was hired to provide a full spectrum of preconstruction and construction services. This new single-story slab on grade wood framed structure was constructed at their County Way campus, in close proximity to the county jail, 911 dispatch center, and existing Sherrif’s Office. JF Scott Construction reached out to local contractors to help maximize the impact on the local economy, and experienced great success in doing so. The $3.7M project started in July 2024 and was turned over in April 2025, well ahead of schedule and on budget. This project was the first in the state of Maine to fully comply with the strict requirements of the Build America Buy America Act (BABAA).
