- Information about upcoming Washington County Extension Office move
I want to see why and where the extension office is moving.
John,
As mentioned in the newsletter, in September the Washington County Extension office will be moving to downtown Hillsboro, into one of the County government buildings (the Public Services Building, or “PSB”).
The reason for the move is related to the County budget. Funding for Extension comes from several sources, including the County. Washington County pays our rent in our current office space. Unfortunately, with the dire budget situation that Washington County is facing, they have directed us to move into county-owned space so that those rent dollars can be redirected to other purposes.
Note that the Columbia County office in St. Helens is not moving, in case there was any confusion.
