Jun. 1 Thurston County officials are considering leasing a 90,000-square-foot building on Pacific Avenue as part of a plan to significantly reorganize county offices.
County Manager Ramiro Chavez has presented the Board of County Commissioners with the option of issuing a non-binding letter of intent to the developer of the Atrium building, MJR Development, every week over the past month.
However, the board has repeatedly delayed acting on the letter as commissioners have attempted to determine the specifics of the multi-million-dollar project aimed at addressing county space needs.
Missoula County will explore a “suite of options” presented in its own forthcoming study as local governments look to mitigate the region’s rapidly rising housing prices and bolster its lagging supply.

Planning Committee recommends refusal of permit for five-storey Portarlington building
Council’s Planning Committee has recommended the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) refuse a planning permit for a proposed five-storey apartment building in Portarlington.
The proposed building, on a visually prominent site at 49 Newcombe Street, would feature 13 apartments, two shops and a basement car park.
Given the slope of the land, the building would have the appearance of being three storeys from Newcombe Street, and five storeys from the parkland and pier to the north.
It would have a maximum height of 14.3 metres above ground level.
The application is also seeking a reduction of five car parking spaces on the statutory rate.
