The proposed project adds a fourth floor north wing and an atrium near the south entry. It would preserve the current entrance while creating walkways on the second and third floors to overlook the 24 foot stained glass window by Grant Wood. The plan adds over 46 000 square feet for offices or meeting rooms with estimated basic costs of 1.5 to 2 million dollars. Mayor Don Canney notes discussions with Linn County supervisors and potential funding from city county and possibly federal sources.
