Ada County is starting the process to build its new drivers license office, expected to be an 11,000-square-foot building at 736 S. Progress St.
The project, which would include parking lot modifications, will be worth $1.4 million, according to city filings.
The Ada County Commission voted last year to claw back forgone taxes again to fund the driver’s license office, allocating about $500,000 for the project at the time. The new office was delayed earlier this year when state legislators considered freezing local government budgets, a bill that ultimately failed.
It’s not clear when the office may open, but the county’s 2021 budget includes money to staff it.
