Linn County weighs new Admin Building plan and funding path
Linda Langston says the county faces an obligation to engage voters while lawmakers may use state law to act to save money long term. The plan adds a third floor to the Administrative Office Building costing about 1.4 million more than the alternative, with key offices moving floors and the basement housing conference rooms. Board members Barron Houser Langston and Rogers supported the project, Oleson opposed, with completion hoped by October 2010. The board also weighs purchasing Steve & Barry’s near Westdale Mall as a potential county site.
