FOXBOROUGH – Built in 1960 to transmit telephone and television signals nationwide, the High Rock site surrounded by conservation land is now home to a state-of-the art emergency communication center.
The large, long-vacant cement building in Foxborough was recently transformed into the new $8.7 million Southeastern Massachusetts Regional Emergency Communication Center (SEMRECC). The center provides emergency dispatching for the Southeastern Massachusetts Regional 911 District. The district, formed in 2017, includes Easton, Foxborough, Mansfield and Norton. The four towns created a regional district to improve service and cut costs.
State and local officials, police, firefighters and SEMRECC staff gathered April 16 to celebrate the center’s completion.
