The Deschutes County Commissioners have to sign off on the deal.

Commissioner Alan Unger says the commission is poised to approve the sale after the county's lawyer looks over the agreement.

"COCC wants to purchase one of the buildings at the Redmond Humane Society, the Brightside Animal Center.  It was a building to have events in.  But they want to repurpose it to the vet program so students can get practical experience."

The cost of the property is expected to be around 262-thousand.

The commission is expected to approve the purchase as early as next week.
