- Kittitas County Terminates Contract for Armory Project 06/20/2012
- Kittitas County Commissioners on Tuesday unanimously voted to terminate the current construction contract and all remaining work for the Armory remodel project with Skyline Contractors, Inc. of Spokane. The decision was the result of thorough consideration and deliberation after issues were raised last week by the contractor regarding the safety and structural integrity of the building. An inspection by experts, agency officials, and representatives of the County and contractor was conducted on Friday of last week and reports are forthcoming. Once those reports are received and reviewed, the County will decide what, if any, actions are needed to assure the building is safe. The County will also decide whether, when, and on what conditions to resume construction.
