While the Ellis County Commission is making plans to purchase the Commerce Bank building, the commissioners are not looking to disband the space needs committee. Some committee members have expressed their desire to continue their work. Meanwhile Commissioner Glenn Diehl approached community corrections about possibly moving into the courthouse.

            With clients meeting at night or on the weekends, community corrections is concerned about having meeting space secured from the rest of the building. Diehl says the Juvenile Justice office would be willing to move after the county offices relocate.
