Last week Bucks County announced the launch of the Lower Bucks Government Services Center construction livestream.
Streaming 24/7 at BucksCounty.gov/LBGSC, the video feed invites residents to follow along from the ground up as the new facility comes to life in Bristol Township.
“Here is an opportunity to watch in real time as your tax dollars are put to work and invested right back here in your community,” said Commissioner Chair Bob Harvie.
Construction on the new facility began earlier this year on the County’s campus along New Falls Road. The 39,000 square foot facility will replace the existing, undersized county government building which has served Bucks County’s most populous communities for decades.
