The Board of Canyon County Commissioners signed an agreement Sept. 24, to purchase the Department of Labor Building on Graye Lane in Caldwell from the Idaho Department of Lands for $1.25 million, with closing on the property tentatively scheduled to take place in early October.
According to the agreement, if the Department of Labor staff is still using the building at the time of closing, the department will pay the county to lease the building until it is able to move to its new facility in the Sky Ranch development.
Once the county takes possession of the building, the county Building and Maintenance staff will begin remodeling it to house a new Driver’s License and License Plate office, as well as other offices which may be housed there in the future.
A few years from now we will be getting a pitch from our Commishes to "unify" all county operations under one roof. This is a band aid purchase to facilitate conversion of third floor offices in the courthouse to courtrooms.

A public discourse on the issues of the day makes the world a better place.
We welcome comments but they will be moderated and edited if too long or do not have anything to do with the post.
Agree or disagree just do it without profanity or it won't get posted. Try to keep your comments to no more than 300 words. Too long and I will try to edit it down or simply delete the comment. The whole idea is to get people to read your comment. Don't use 10 words when one will do the job.
It's OK to have a difference of opinion but keep it civil. I have used the "delete" feature on myself at times.
The ANONYMOUS feature for comments seems to be the most user friendly. People have commented they have difficulty with the other methods of posting comments.
