Cape Girardeau County Commission to decide on federal building purchase today

The Cape Girardeau County Commission will decide in a meeting this morning whether or not the county will purchase the old federal building located at 339 Broadway.

The deadline for the decision is July 31, set by the federal General Services Administration, which is the current owner of the property.

Commissioners are considering purchasing the building to create county office space that public officials say is badly needed. The sale price of the building hasn't been disclosed yet to the public due to GSA rules.
