Committee debates county master plan options; PACE Building, satellite offices and financing surface as priorities
Summary
Committee members reviewed a facilities needs report and discussed consolidation, use of the PACE Building, satellite offices, animal control placement, parking and financing options; members asked the executive office to consider updating the plan to reflect county-owned properties and explore funding scenarios.
Will County’s Capital & Facilities Committee spent the bulk of its meeting discussing a recently received facilities needs report and what the county should prioritize next.
Chair Freeman opened the discussion by asking committee members for feedback on the report. Mike Mahoney, who participated in the discussion as a representative of the executive’s office, told the committee that county services are spread across Joliet and that renovating or replacing aging buildings will require strategic choices. “We are maxed out with what we can do with rental space,” Mahoney said, noting renovations that have created usable space for some departments and warning that mechanical systems in older buildings will require significant capital soon.
