County Rolling Out $36M Building Plan

The Kootenai County commissioners are holding an open house on Tuesday to roll out the proposed $36 million county facilities master plan to the public, the first step to possibly putting a bond measure on the ballot. “If the commissioners move this forward and put this to a vote, this is an opportunity to gain more information so (voters) could be better in-formed,” said Commiss-ioner Dan Green. The public meeting, scheduled for 5 p.m. at the county administration building at 451 Government Way, will include a presentation of the proposed plan by Steve McNutt, with NAC Architecture. … The plan chiefly covers a dramatic makeover to the county campus at the corner of Northwest Boulevard and Government Way in Coeur d’Alene. Recommendations in the plan include building a 6 to 8 -level parking garage on Northwest Boulevard, an expansion of the administration building, and a new justice building/ Maureen Dolan , Coeur d’Alene Press.
