Lucas County commissioners urge United Way not to tear down building
BLADE STAFF

The Lucas County commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday morning to urge the United Way to find other uses - not demolition - for its downtown building.

Commissioner Ben Konop has suggested the building could be a future home for the county's offices of its Job and Family Services.

The United Way of Greater Toledo last week announced plans to build a new structure and tear down its current home because of the extensive and costly renovations that it has said would be required to stay.

According to United Way estimates, updating the 1969 building would cost at least $10 million, while new construction would cost $6 million - including the current structure's removal.
