Hoover Council approves federal computer institute

The Hoover City Council tonight authorized Mayor Tony Petelos to sign contracts to allow the U.S. Secret Service a rent-free six-year lease in the Hoover Public Safety Center. The Secret Service will operate the National Computer Forensic Institute, which is expected to bring about 1,000 trainees to the city each year.

The state will spend $5 million to build the center’s facilities, which will occupy 33,000 square feet in the Public Safety Center. The Shelby County Commission will spend up to $250,000 on architect fees. Should the center leave within the first three years, Hoover would have to reimburse the state and county 40 percent of their costs.
