Visitors to the County Administration Building may notice some significant changes underway outside.

Construction is in progress on the ground floor as part of a major renovation of the Community Development department. This includes the addition of a new public entrance accessible directly from the parking lot.

As construction continues this month, please watch for updated signage directing you to temporary customer service areas, as the layout may change during this time.

The project is expected to continue for several months, with completion anticipated in late 2025.
