County Commissioners Discuss Property Purchase and Flood Renovation Costs
What happened
A five-member building committee presented a report to Kerr County Commissioners’ Court, discussing the financial details of purchasing the 429 Sidney Baker property. The court also reviewed the costs of renovating that building and other county structures as part of a long-term office space solution. Tax Assessor Bob Reeves visited the property with county staff and representatives from Gerloff Construction.
Why it matters
The county is planning to acquire the property and undertake renovations to replace office space lost in the July 16 flood. The discussion involved a proposed master plan for relocating county offices and addressed the costs associated with purchasing and restoring the building.
