County Departments Moving Downtown

County Departments Moving Downtown
County facilities staff have been working hard to remodel the Frazzini Building downtown to house the county’s Social Services and Public Works, Planning & Building Departments. Story and Photo by Anne McMillin, APR

Construction on the former Frazzini Furniture building, 270 South Maine Street, is nearly complete, and two county departments are preparing to move in over the next few weeks.

The Public Works, Planning & Building Department is the first to move. It will vacate its current space in the County Administration Complex on North Taylor Street and move downtown on August 23. To facilitate the move, the department will be closed to the public on August 23 from 12 to 5 p.m.

Public Works, Planning & Building will occupy Suite A on the right or northern side of the Frazzini building. The department will be open for public business at 8 a.m. on Monday, August 26.

Social Services will occupy Suite B, on the left or southern side of the Frazzini Building, and is moving its administration functions on Tuesday, August 20. Essential Services functions will be in their current spaces at 485 West B Street, Suite 105, until they move on September 6. The Social Services Department will be closed to the public on September 6 and 9 to allow time to set up and settle into the new spaces. The department will be open to serve the public at 8 a.m. on September 10.

Phone numbers for both departments remain unchanged, but phone service in these departments may lag during the move. Messages may not be picked up right away while staff acclimates to their new environment. Your patience is appreciated during this time.

Phone Numbers:
Public Works & Planning: 775-423-7627
Building: 775-428-0264
Social Services: 775-423-6695

Thank you Kelli Kelly.Comment publication date: 3/21/26, 8:12 AMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon ManComment author: Bob SondgrothComment text: There are times when you should just know about someone. Who and what they REALLY were. Because they were devotional and IMPORTANT to the humans they connected with. The content of their life bled so that others could feel their own life’s importance. Teachers of justifiable life and art. That all can absorb and use as the best fertilizer for THEIR lives. Giving the silent secrets and the loud guidance. The Melon Man was a perfect specimen for how to devote. His passing meant a life book of feeling/knowing what gives other humans their paths to Love and Knowledge. Some humans are meant to show others their paths. And in that they secrete ways to profitably exist.Comment publication date: 3/18/26, 4:50 PMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon Man
