County Commissioners Diana Irey-Vaughn and Nick Sherman conducted a tour of Courthouse Square. Commissioners are interested in purchasing the neighboring Crossroads Center Building as a replacement to what was revealed as a crumbling office building lacking in space. Director of Buildings and Grounds Justin Welsh started the tour with a presentation that showed crumbling concrete, cracked floors and heaved sections of flooring in the garage. A video showed water pouring through upper levels onto cars inside the garage. First floor flooding has occurred twice in the last 5 years. Commissioners are looking to purchase the building across from their current home because repairs just to fix the leaking in the garage are excessive. Irey-Vaughn states that a current appraisal for the value of Courthouse Square is $3.9 million. The lowest bid just to repair the 310 space garage is $10.9 million. An additional $2.6 million would be needed to address other improvements. Poor drainage in the courtyard area of the building is the cause of the problems. Space in the building is limited as services currently offered are more than what was designed into the nearly 40 year old building. Irey-Vaughn states that if the county would proceed to purchase the Crossroads Center, after all due diligence and agreement on price, a contract could be finalized in 60-90 days. The county would receive revenue from current tenants. The Courthouse Square building would be demolished and held for possible expansion in the future.
