REMINDER: Linn County Seeks Public Input
for Five Administrative Office Building Options

Survey available online through November 4

(Cedar Rapids, IA – November 2, 2009) – Linn County continues to seek public input about the five options for an Administrative Office Building. Information about the five options is available on the Linn County website at www.linncounty.org. The public can complete a survey about their preferences online through November 4.

Linn County is weighing five options for an Administrative Office Building because of flood-related damage to the site at 930 First St. S.W., in Cedar Rapids. County offices and staff from the AOB have been operating out of temporary locations since the 2008 flood. The five options being considered are:

• Returning to the Administrative Office Building as it was pre-flood
• Renovating, improving and expanding the Administrative Office Building
• Buying and renovating the Steve & Barry’s building at Westdale Mall for long-term use
• Buying and renovating the former Econofoods building on 51st St. NE in Cedar Rapids
• Co-location with the City of Cedar Rapids and/or school district in a yet-to-be-determined location.

For detailed information about each option, visit www.linncounty.org.
