Washington County building gets $1.5 million facelift

The Washington County administrative building off St. George Boulevard recently got a facelift, with about a $1.5 million price tag. The building got new roofing, stucco, additional windows and other exterior work done the last six months. The revamping of this building is the first phase of several in updating and remodeling county buildings – which some parts of the buildings date back to 1966.


Construction began June 17, with MRW Design heading the project's architectural plans. Felshaw said Watts Construction Inc. was ahead of schedule for the most part throughout the last six months. Eventually, the interior of the building will be remodeled.
