Transfer station building plans

The Whitman County Public Works department has moved up a capital project set for 2019 to build a modular office building at the Waste Transfer Station that would house a training room/conference room, storage space, break room and rest rooms with showers in an estimated 1,000 to 1,200-square-foot space.

Public Works Director Mark Storey told county commissioners Monday that he will begin to get quotes for the building from the county's small works roster.

The estimated $60,000-$80,000 building would house new office space for the transfer station director and foreman.

Earlier this summer, Storey collected informal comment on the idea and met with County Commissioner Dean Kinzer to see how the project would fit in the county's capital facility plan for the transfer station.
