Several county offices will be closed as they prepare to move to the new Georgetown Annex building at the end of January and beginning of February, according to a news release on Jan. 15. The new Georgetown Annex is a 60,000-square-foot, two-story annex located at 100 Wilco Way in Georgetown. The building will include offices for the Precinct 3 Commissioner Valerie Covey, and the precinct's constable and justice of the peace as well as purchasing, human resources, veterans services and Texas A&M AgriLife Extension. In addition, it will have a justice of the peace courtroom, multiple meeting and conference rooms, and a training/teaching space for AgriLife Extension, the release said. County offices will be closed on a rotating schedule as each moves into the new annex. The closure schedule will be as follows:
  • Commissioner Precinct 3: Formerly located at 3010 Williams Drive, the office will be closed Jan. 23-24 with limited access to email and phone calls.
