SLO County supervisors approve Nipomo sheriff’s substation

By JOSH FRIEDMAN
The San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved a $10.3 million contract to build a new sheriff’s substation in Nipomo.
In total, the project has an estimated of $14.4 million. Construction is set to begin next year, with completion expected in 2028.
County officials had considered building a Nipomo substation for years prior to the project’s approval.
Initially, then-Supervisor Lynn Compton was a proponent of the project during her time on the county board. Supervisor Jimmy Paulding, Compton’s successor, later adopted the position as a policy priority of his.
Sheriff’s officials say a substation in Nipomo will allow for improved response times and law enforcement capabilities in South County.
