Impact analysis
A $5.7 million purchase, partly offset by OCA rent of roughly $250,000 a year for vacated courthouse space.
County departments consolidating near downtown, Pine Hills residents awaiting redevelopment, and the court system gaining space.
Legislators say taxpayers are being asked to fund a purchase without a full public accounting of the campus plan.

Public Works Committee — May 26, 2026
Five county-owned buildings on the former St. Rose campus will get free energy monitoring devices under a pilot with EcoLong, giving the county data to cut energy waste. Legislators want clarity on contract language about performance savings and revenue sharing.
