The shelter is located inside the Criminal Justice Complex, near Highway 19 in Brownsville. Construction on the building was finished about a month ago, planning officials say. Emergency Management Director Bob Parks says if a tornado warning is issued, the shelter will be open for residents to enter. The room is designed to hold more than 500 people.
