County’s new Development Services building opens to the public
Casa Grande Dispatch
Pinal County’s new two-story Development Services building, replacing the old “Building F” that was once a jail, opened with a ribbon cutting on May19.
“This building is way overdue, I’m so glad we finally built it,” Board of Supervisors Chairman Steve Miller, R-Casa Grande, told the crowd assembled for the ribbon cutting. He said getting around the old building was so confusing, “I left bread crumbs to find my way out.”
County Manager Leo Lew said that’s because it was originally designed to keep people in, rather than help them conduct their business and get out. Building F was built as a jail in 1977 when the county’s population was less than 90,000, Lew said. The old building nearby was being demolished as employees and guests toured the new one on May 19.
