Supervisors unanimously approve building site

    GRUNDY CENTER — The Grundy County Board of Supervisors Monday selected a location on H Avenue as the site for its proposed new annex building.
    Supervisors were in unanimous agreement to build a one-story building on a lot currently owned by Bob Cox. They agreed to purchase the property from Cox for $52,000. The purchase agreement was contingent upon the City of Grundy Center changing zoning on the property from R1 Residential to either C1 or C2 Commercial.
    The decision came after architect Mardy Holst presented Supervisors with informal specs and photos of what a building attached to the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department office would look like. Differences between building there and building on the Cox site included the Sheriff’s lot site having the added cost of an elevator, a smaller basement and the cost of moving utilities. The Cox lot has additional costs for acquisition of property and demolition of the home.
