Summary

Bismarck city commissioners face a big decision on the future of the City/County Building, weighing five options from budget-friendly renovations to a brand-new facility. The cheapest plan, Option C, costs $20–30 million and aims for early 2026 completion. Other renovation paths climb to $50M–$80M, with mid-2026 deadlines. Option E, a full rebuild on a new site, tops out at $80–90 million and targets early 2027. Each choice balances cost, accessibility upgrades, and long-term impact—shaping how Bismarck delivers essential services for years to come.
