Daisy Street. The existing training room is capable of providing the <br />essential elements required for an EOC. Improvements to the training room <br />include raised access flooring, reinforcement of glass windows, and <br />modification of the existing lighting, security and electrical systems. <br />In addition a separate generator will be installed to serve the EOC. <br /> <br />25F-1 <br /> <br />
