🚧 Public Safety Training Center Tactical Village – Construction Update 🚧

We’re proud to share progress on the development of the Public Safety Training Center Tactical Village at 18350 Public Safety Place!

Phase I is well underway and includes a fire training tower set to be operational this summer. Phase I includes major site work such as installation of utilities, construction of a vehicle maneuvering and driving course, and a vehicle extrication area—expected to be completed this fall.

Planning is already in motion for Phase II! The next phase will expand training capabilities with features like a pump pad/drafting pit, drone flying area, canine training facility, fitness trail, and multiple training buildings to support classroom instruction and hands-on exercises.

Future phases will bring even more advanced, real-world training environments, including simulated businesses, residential structures, and additional support facilities. This facility ensures that our first responders are able to train for real world situations in a safe, controlled environment.

A special thank you to our Board of County Commissioners for their continued support and for providing the resources to bring this project to life. This project represents a major investment in training and preparedness for our first responders. Thank you to our partners and the community for your continued support as we build this state-of-the-art facility!

Edited: thank you to C. William Hetzer, Inc. , who was awarded the contract to complete the site work and help bring this project to life!

We are Excited to work on this Project!

The Washington County Division of Public Works, in partnership with the Washington County Public Golf Corporation, a 501(c)(3) organization, is proud to announce the privately funded development of a new state-of-the-art Golf Training Center at Black Rock Golf Course, located at 20025 Mt. Aetna Road, Hagerstown, Maryland. This transformative project represents a major investment in the continued growth of golf programming, training, and recreation within Washington County.

The Black Rock Golf Training Center will feature covered and open driving bays, a short game area, and synthetic grass putting and chipping greens. Designed for year-round use, this modern facility will provide a professional environment for golfers of all ages and skill levels, from student athletes to community members and experienced players, to practice, learn, and improve their game.

The covered driving range will offer all-season swing practice with protection from weather conditions, while the artificial-turf putting and chipping greens will provide an ideal setting for refining putting techniques and green-reading skills.
This project will enhance local recreation opportunities and serve as a long-term resource for golf education and player development in Washington County.
