    Flagstaff County held their grand opening of their new administration building on Jan. 30.

    This new 25,596 square foot building includes office space for public works and administrative services for Flagstaff County and the villages of Galahad and Strome. Approximately 175 people attended this grand opening ceremony.

    Opening remarks came from County Reeve, Henry Hays.

    “Welcome,” Hays introduced the present council and gave a brief history of council.

    “We’ve had a transition of growth over the past 15 years and after a lot of research and planning the County purchased 68 acres just north of Sedgewick.

    “The original cost of the new building came in at $7.8 million but that had to be bumped up to $8.2 million after all work was completed, but the building did come in at $68,000 under budget.
