MONTEREY COUNTY SUPERVISORS PLAN TO PURCHASE A VACANT 300-THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT OFFICE BUILDING, IN HOPES OF BEING ABLE TO USE IT TO HOUSE COUNTY OFFICES. THE CAPITOL ONE BUILDING (ON SCHILLING PLACE IN SALINAS) HAS BEEN VACANT SINCE IT CAPITOL ONE MOVED OUT A YEAR AGO. SOME SALINAS CITY LEADERS, AND DOWNTOWN BUSINESS OWNERS, SAY IT’S A BAD MOVE BECAUSE IT WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT BUSINESS THERE.
