Operational and Administration Facilities

Acme’s headquarters is located at the Wellington municipal complex at the intersection of Forest Hill Boulevard and Wellington Trace, adjacent to the Community Center property (Exhibit 3C). The municipal complex is a 54,000-square-foot, Florida Vernacular style, 2-story structure built to LEED standards for environmental quality and energy efficiency. The complex was built with no tax increase or borrowing, as Wellington used impact fees, excess revenues and building permit fees accumulated during the construction boom. All management and administrative staff are centrally located in the same building.
Maintenance, storage and law enforcement are housed at a 12-acre parcel in the Saddle Trail Park area of Wellington, south of Greenbriar Boulevard. Within this area, facilities include housing for law enforcement, Public Works division administrative offices, warehouse, storage, and maintenance facilities.
