Commissioners have approved a study to identify vacant or underutilized county land that could be used by the Sheriff's Office. The old incinerator site is one property being considered. Commissioner Raquel Regalado suggested examining the entire county portfolio for potential locations, rather than focusing on a single area.
She also emphasized the need to verify that any land being considered is truly surplus, as vacant land may still have planned uses. Further details about the proposed study and potential uses of the incinerator site are available. The commissioner's comments indicate a desire to explore various options for the Sheriff's Office, while also ensuring that any decisions are made with careful consideration of the county's overall needs.
