Background and Discussion:
On March 27th, 2024, the Office of the County Engineer conducted a Downtown Space Planning Workshop to discuss current space concerns and future space planning needs and requirements. Stakeholders for this workshop included representatives from the District Attorney Office, Districts Courts, County Courts, Probate Courts, Public Defenders Office, County Auditor's Office, and Human Resources & Risk Management. The selected consultant will support creating a masterplan to meet the space needs for departments located in downtown.
