Finding F3.3
While larger facilities are critical, the existing LACO ME facilities cannot be expanded. Creating sufficient space capable of handling caseloads and modern equipment will require building a new facility or extensively renovating an existing county building. The Board of Supervisors has approved a study to determine if remodeling an existing building is feasible.
