PRINEVILLE, OR -- Several Crook County departments are shifting offices, in an effort to create more room for growing agencies, most notably the Community Development Department, which officials say is particularly impacted by a lack of space. 

Crook County Human Resources and Legal departments will move to the Chucker Point Building at 27 NE 2nd Street, in the next few weeks. County Court and Administration staff will move across the street, into the offices vacated by HR and Legal. County officials say that space will be remodeled to provide a larger conference room for work sessions and other county meetings.

The changes will allow Community Development to occupy the entire first floor of the County Courthouse. All moves are expected to be complete by the end of February.
