Potter County approves 8 million in certificates for Santa Fe Building
Potter County commissioners unanimously authorized 8 million in certificates of obligation to renovate the Santa Fe Building in Amarillo, funded with no tax increase. The plan adds to 11 million already allocated for a county jail project, with interest rates near 4.73 percent and debt to be paid by 2014. The renovations preserve a downtown landmark and provide needed office space, contrasting with Randall County’s jail plan.
