"Two studies since 2006 have identified a critical need for additional office space in order to deliver services efficiently and effectively to a population that has more than doubled since 1997," Hanson said. "Most Dallas County residents know they live in one of the fastest-growing counties in the nation but would like to know more about how that growth has affected county government."

"As county officials we have a responsibility to ensure services keep up with the needs of our residents," he said. "With the decision to set an Aug. 6 public referendum on this question, we also have the responsibility to share the facts with them so they can reach their own conclusions about what is best for their county."

The proposed facility would be 91,000 square foot on a county-owned site in east Adel on Highway 6.
