Dunn County to develop plan for east-side campus
16 Apr 2019
Dunn
Dunn County has taken its first step in moving county offices from downtown Menomonie to the Community Services Building on the city’s east side.
The county Executive Committee gave the green light to county staff to develop a campus plan, which will shape the future of county-owned land on the north side of Highway 12/29. The campus spans The Neighbors of Dunn County, the Judicial Center and Highway Department property, county administrator Paul Miller said.
“This is an eye toward coming up with a unified plan … to build a campus identity, so as people travel up and down (Highway) 12/29 here, they’ll know this is Dunn County,” Miller said.
