f the sale goes through, Midvale is set to become a hub for county public services. With a vote of 7-1, the Salt Lake County Council approved the authorization of a contract to purchase Overstock’s building at 799 Coliseum Way. The council approved $55 million to acquire the “peace symbol” building that will move the county’s government center from its current location at 2001 S. State Street. “Salt Lake County Government Center is approaching 40 years old,” said the Salt Lake County Council and Mayor Jenny Wilson in a joint statement. “Over the past two years, we have reviewed costs for much-needed maintenance and renovations, as well as conducted an assessment specific to the size and current use of the Government Center. At this time, the estimated cost for maintenance and renovations is at least $225 million.” Built in 2016, the Overstock building has 250,000 square feet of fivestar office space with nearby access to I-15 and the Bingham Junction TRAX station. The County will purchase the property using funds allocated for the maintenance and renovation of the government center.
