The Paulding County Commissioners scheduled an Open House for December 2, 2022. The entire county was invited to tour the new County office building. The facility has been slowly prepared over the past year with various county government services relocating their offices to 451 McDonald Pike Avenue.
Not all Paulding County agencies have changed their location, but a good many have, including Soil and Water, Emergency Management Agency, Title Office, Board of Commissioners, Juvenile Review, PCBDD, Sheriff (main office is still at the jail).
Every county employee that spoke with the West Bend News expressed how much they appreciated the new county office building. Commissioner Mike Weible stated his opinion by expressing his appreciation of the aesthetics of the classic architecture of the Courthouse, but continued on by saying this was a vast improvement to the “dungeon” in which the Commissioners and their staff were located in in the basement of the courthouse.
This new facility is highly accessible to the public since both the title office and the Commissioners can now be visited without the steep steps of the previous location.
Maintenance Director, Tim Yenser, who had been working with local companies to make the building more user friendly and accessible to the county residents. It takes over 6 months, but the site has improved every time we have set foot. Tim and his crew are continually working to bring the suggestions to light!
Many County Residents stoped in during the 2 hour time slot and conversed about the upgrades that everyone was noticing! One such was Jane Nice saying she couldn’t believe how nice it was compared to how the building was previously!
Any future changes that may take place will certainly be reported in the West Bend News!
