SALADO â Workers at the Bell County Justice of the Peace Precinct 2 office may soon have some more room to move around as commissioners negotiate the purchase of a new building.
In a 5-0 decision last week, the Bell County Commissioners Court unanimously decided to move forward on negotiating the purchase of a new building in Salado. The commissioners approved a budget of no more than $1.65 million for the new building, and a timeline to close on the property for sometime before May 1, 2021.
Commissioners said the building â located at 11057 Event Drive in Salado â would house the offices for JP Precinct 2 as well as the precinctâs constables. It previously was a school for Acton Imprimis, now the Studio Preparatory, located in Austin.
