County has purchased former PGE office on E. Clay for Prosecutor

DAYTON – The Columbia County Prosecutor's Office will move to a new location on South Clay Street in Dayton next month.

According to Prosecutor Rea Culwell, the Columbia County Commissioners have agreed to purchase the building at 215 East Clay Street, next door to the County Planning office. The sale was expected to close this week.

The building formerly housed the Portland General Electric Dayton office during the construction of the Tucannon River Wind Farm, and before that, Blue Columbia Eye Care.

Culwell said that, prior to the move, some modifications will be made to the building to increase security for storage of records and to create a safe space to meet with family members in custody dispute cases.

She said the move will provide a more secure space for her office, and will be ADA compliant, which her current office isn't. She expects the move to be completed by the end of September.

The Commissioners also agreed Monday to lease a new space on Dayton's Main Street for the Columbia County Extension Office. That office is currently located in the Federal Building, next to the Dayton Post Office.

The new office will be located at 137 E. Main. Also moving into the new space will be the Columbia County Weed Board Office and the 4H advisory office.

The Extension Office move is also expected to be completed by the end of September.
