Law Center planning stalls over second floor option
Franklin County commissioners halted plans for a second phase law enforcement center as architect Wilbur F. Kruse presented cost estimates that diverged from prior resolutions. A two story design with unfinished second floor would run about 343000, while a finished second floor nears 413000. The county grant covers 281000 of construction, with total grant 322000. Local leaders fear public support for extra funds, preferring a one story building with basement and potential later expansion. Commissioners will decide soon whether to build a one story base now or await funding.
