Citrus County is considering purchasing properties in downtown Inverness to accommodate government offices and services. The Citrus County Board of Commissioners has been discussing the possibility of buying one or more properties in the downtown area to consolidate various county offices and departments.
The county is looking at several properties, but no specific addresses or purchase prices have been released. According to Citrus County Administrator, Tom Williams, the goal is to have a centralized location for county government services, making it more convenient for residents to access various offices and services. “We’re looking at properties that would allow us to bring various county offices and services under one roof, or at least in close proximity, to improve efficiency and customer service,” Williams said. The county is also considering the potential economic benefits of having a stronger presence in downtown Inverness, which could help support local businesses and stimulate growth.
No timeline has been set for making a decision or purchasing any properties. The county will continue to evaluate options and consider input from residents and stakeholders.
