Thurston County plans to construct three buildings and remodel another at its road maintenance site near Tilley Road, to help centralize its public works and emergency management departments.

To pay construction costs, the commission is also scheduled to approve issuing about $18 million in 20-year bonds, a majority of which are Build America Bonds, according to the county.
