ST. GEORGE — The Washington County Commission is in the process of considering a $20 million bond for the internal renovation of its Boulevard Office Building, which hasn't seen a major remodel in decades and is seen as increasingly necessary as it could serve as a new home for the United States Court in Southern Utah.

The county's intention to consider a multimillion-dollar bond for its Boulevard Office Building, located on the corner of St. George Boulevard and 200 East in St. George, was posted Thursday and noted it was the subject of a public hearing.

That hearing was held during a County Commission meeting Tuesday and ran for an hour as people either asked questions or denounced the idea of the debt the issuance of the bond would create.

"We are not issuing these bonds today," Commission Chair Adam Snow said prior to opening the hearing to comment, and explained the hearing was to gauge the public's thoughts on the matter.
