Commissioners commit to buy Culbertson Readiness Center and OMS Shop for $1.085 million
Summary
Roosevelt County committed to purchase the Culbertson Readiness Center and OMS Shop for $1,085,000, with funding expected from LATCF, oil revenue and local contributions; the facility is intended for Sheriff's Office use, public health services and emergency staging and the county aims to close by Dec. 31, 2026.
At the March 24 meeting the Roosevelt County commissioners voted to commit to purchase the Culbertson Readiness Center and OMS Shop for $1,085,000.00. County representatives said the Department of Military Affairs requested a commitment letter to move the process forward and that state law prevents selling below appraised value.
Commissioner Gordon Oelkers reported the county requested state funding assistance and identified local funding sources, including LATCF funds, oil revenue and contributions from the Culbertson Fire Department and the City of Culbertson. Commissioners said the facility is planned to serve multiple county functions — housing the Sheriff’s Office, supporting public health services and providing emergency staging — and they set an internal target to complete the purchase by Dec. 31, 2026.
The minutes show the action was taken by motion and passed; the record does not include details of a formal purchase agreement or the state’s response to funding requests.
