January 25, 2017 (Santee) – County Supervisors have unanimously approved plans to build new county offices on Mission Gorge Road in Santee, near the Edgemoor skilled nursing facility.
The $21 million facility will replace an aging office building in El Cajon that currently houses the County Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk and the Treasurer-Tax Collector, which will be sold to help cover a portion of construction costs.
The older facility with brick façade at Magnolia and Douglas was built in 1957 and needed upgrades to heating, air condition, plumbing and electrical systems. It also lacked space for expansion.
