Thurston County may spend $9.9 million remodeling its ballot processing complex
Feb. 14—Thurston County may spend as much as $9.9 million to remodel a multi-use complex that includes its election division, according to recent estimates.
Facilities Services Manager Jason Ashe shared the cost estimate for improving the Mottman Complex during a Thursday meeting with the Board of County Commissioners.
In June, the county spent $5.6 million to buy the three-building complex at the intersection of Ferguson Street Southwest and 29th Avenue in Tumwater. Auditor Mary Hall's office previously leased space at the complex to run elections and process ballots.
With the purchase, Hall can expand to meet her space needs and consolidate her staff there ahead of the next presidential election cycle.
