Douglas County’s Public Works and Zoning and Codes departments are inviting area residents to check out their new $14.5 million facilities on Friday.

The two departments officially moved out to 3755 East 25th St. in April, said Douglas County Director of Public Works Keith Browning, but ongoing construction kept the departments from sharing their new home with the public.

“There was a lot of work that was still to be done, so we didn’t have this type of ceremony or anything,” he said. “But we’re at a point where we can have an open house for members of the public and people we work with and do business with on a daily basis.”

The event is free and open to the public between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.

Those who come will have the opportunity to take a look at the departments’ main building, operations crews’ shops, chemical building and fleet maintenance buildings, Browning said.

“We’re really proud of the new facility and we would like people to come take a look,” Browning said.
