With the new Baxter County Health Department nearing completion, Baxter County Judge Kevin Litty is setting his sights on developing another site to house county government offices.
The plan is to see the development of a multi functional center that could house offices for elected officials as well as serve as a new voting center. A possible site would be the former location of the old First Baptist Church off of the Mountain Home Square.
Judge Litty says a new location would make voting and county services more accessible.
