Kendall County is preparing for a renovation of the Burdick Community Center, which is planned to house county offices. On Dec. 9, commissioners approved funding for the pre-design and schematic design services with a cost not to exceed $110,500. 

The details: The building is planned to house Precinct 2 offices alongside other county departments. Kendall County purchased the center in January for $4 million. 

In July, the center was redistricted outside of Precinct 1 into Precinct 2 to be able to house the Justice of the Peace for the precinct. 

Prior to purchase from the county, the building was used as a community center for Roy Maas Youth Alternatives, an organization focused on children's residential care and counseling.

“As you walk down the terminal corridors in Terminal A or Terminal B, you see new change, but that change is also connecting [us] with who we are, and we don't lose focus of our history and our culture, and that's what this is about,” Saenz said.
