County to hear church’s lease proposals

Trinity Lutheran Church leaders are still interested in leasing the former sanctuary in the Douglas County Public Works administration building, 1242 Mass.

Church leaders raised that possibility several months ago and will present a lease proposal at tonight’s County Commission meeting. Among the lease proposals are a rent of $10 a month for five years with an option to extend.

The former sanctuary area is used for storage by the county and needs renovations. The building is a former Assembly of God Church.
