The Baxter County Quorum Court building committee took the first step Thursday in an effort to purchase the building at the corner of U.S. Highway 62B next door to the County Assessor’s Office on the Mountain Home square.
Baxter County Judge Mickey Pendergrass says the former restaurant location is actually connected to the County Assessor’s Office.

Judge Pendergrass says the building the county is seeking to purchase is owned by Kent Graham.

Judge Pendergrass said the purchase of the building will initially provide storage space as the county continues its work at the former Arkansas State University Mountain Home campus that originally served as First Baptist Church.

Long term, the space in the building could be used for additional offices.
