County officials will begin working with architects today (Wednesday) on final designs, with construction slated to begin this spring. The new building would provide an office for each of the four case workers, plus two offices where veterans could meet in private with staff from other related agencies. There would also be a larger computer data room with privacy, wider hallways, plus a waiting room where veterans could view informational videos or pick up literature.

The top proposed location would be at the southeast corner of Seventh Street and Sixth Avenue directly north of the county’s juvenile detention facility. The second choice is at the northwest corner of Sixth Street and Sixth Avenue.
