Plans Considered For Remodeling County Offices
Lake County commissioners approve preliminary remodeling plans for the county courthouse in Tavares and will weigh the School Board request for funds to build a new county school office at the next budget hearing. The remodeled building would rise five floors with a new exterior at an estimated 470000 to 500000 dollars. The School Board seeks about 130000 dollars for a new office at the north end of Tavares High School site, a cost now considered too high for the needed 7000 square feet of space to expand the business office and house new equipment and staff.
