Local government officials, county staff members, local artists and others involved in the new county government center project pose Tuesday in front of the facility to cut the ceremonial ribbon. The project consisted of purchasing and remodeling the vacant Williamsburg Nursing Home to establish offices and meeting spaces for county government. The project started in August 2020 and county offices were moved in mid-March of this year. The $5.5 million project was financed through a bond by the Montgomery County Building Corp. County offices located in the center include assessor, auditor, building/zoning, commissioners, engineering, health, mapping, maintenance, recorder, surveyor, treasurer and veteran services.
