County considers joint building plan for jail and federal offices
The report supports consolidating agricultural agencies and state offices into one building to improve space at the jail site. Current quarters are inadequate for the county extension and SCS ASC offices, with rents paid in Stathis Building and Mannis Harris Clinic Building. A larger project would require county funding and board approval.
