Our building reflects environmental leadership, is cost-effective, and is well maintained.
We serve selected needs of the larger community, generating recognition and revenue.

Do required long term maintenance continued
Money spent would not be recovered
Would not address limitations of space or Parking
Leaves us with an aging facility
Build New on Existing Site
Would allow us to redesign building to our needs– Probably requires zoning change– A new building may require on-site parking– Set back from 16th Avenue
Estimated Cost w/o parking- $1,500,000 plus
Build New on Existing Site continued
Would need to rent while building
Would be required to provide onsite parking
Underground parking est. at $10,000 - $20,000 per space
Sell and purchase an existing building
Plusses– Could realize value of current building
Minuses– We don’t know value of building– Building might not sell
Need to find a facility that meets our needs
Can we find one? Net cost would be ??
Sell and build New Facility
Plusses– Design facility to our requirements– Create an architectural statement– Don’t move until new building is ready– Solve the parking problem
Uncertainties
