The main question is the cost of the total project. The $8 million price tag is a projection and Brosius and Commissioner Butch Campbell said a little more than half of that amount would likely be spent on the annex and the remaining portion on the renovation. “This board is not inter- ested in band-aids because band-aids end up costing you more money In the long run,” Brosius said. “We’re not interested in the quick fix, not a five- or 10-year plan and just spending one or $2 million. That would be the easy thing to do, but looking down the road we want a plan that will serve the county and its residents for 30 to 50 years. Instead of kicking the can down the road, we want to take this bull by the horns and fix the problems and then you are ready for what we know is coming in the future. We’re going to need even more room in the future as more services are put on the county to take care of.” Campbell agrees with Brosius and sees other ben- efits to the community. “It is the most cost- effective way to get done what we’re required to do,” Campbell said. “One of the questions people are going to ask is are we going to have local employment on the project.
