Athens County weigh options for county property use
Commissioners discussed keeping or selling sites at the former County Home farm near Chauncey and an underused building on North Lancaster Street housing Job and Family Services records. Considerations include relocating offices, possible sale, parking limits, and federal funding concerns. A Connett Road site may be leased or sold, while Children Services on East State Street awaits a long term facilities decision. Potential EMS station and possible 911 and EMA relocations are among options under review. Plans include a space needs survey still pending.
