Several individuals from Short Elliott Hendrickson, an engineering, architectural, environmental and planning company based in St. Paul, Minn., took part in a Zoom call with the Perry County Board of Commissioners earlier this week.
It’s a continuation of an exploratory effort to seek more information before major decisions are made in regard to a joint justice center.
SEH has been linked with Kiefner Brothers Construction of Cape Girardeau, formerly of Perryville.
Monday was opportunity to discuss options for what will eventually be a county and city of Perryville structure.
“We're excited about it, looking forward to the long process that it’s going to take,” said District 1 Commissioner Jay Wengert.
No final decisions have been made at this point, including a specific location.
“It starts with a quality design that leads to a quality structure,” said Daniel Triller, one of those involved in the Monday meeting, along with Perry County presiding commissioner Mike sauer, District 2 commissioner Keith Hoehn as well as others involved with SEH.
