Commissioners ask USD 239 to present ideas for 'Blue Store' reuse; childcare grant discussed
Summary
Commissioner Scott Mortimer invited the USD 239 superintendent to discuss possible uses for the Blue Store after the district expressed uncertainty about purchasing it; Commissioner Carla Grund flagged a Rural Champions childcare grant as a possible collaboration opportunity.
Commissioner Scott Mortimer said he met with the superintendent of USD 239 to discuss potential uses for the county-owned Blue Store property and suggested the superintendent present ideas to the commission at a future meeting.
Mortimer said the school district "is not sure if they want to buy it yet" and proposed that the superintendent come to next week's meeting to outline ideas. Commissioner Carla Grund raised the Rural Champions grant as a vehicle to address childcare needs and suggested possible collaboration between the county and the school district on childcare programming tied to the Blue Store property.
The minutes record no formal action, purchase commitment or timeline; the discussion was exploratory and commissioners asked staff to invite the superintendent to present plans.
