Budget Board Plans Sale of State Properties in Capital
The Budget and Control Board agreed to pursue sales of two properties in the capital city to help cover the two year budget deficit. Negotiations target the main maintenance garage near the new convention center and 86101 square feet of office space opposite the State Museum. The board will also discuss selling about 70 acres of vacant land on Highway 21 to Richland School District 1 and resumes next month. Some members oppose selling the Education Department headquarters and the Probation Parole and Pardon Services building.
