Union County supervisors continued to discuss where to move Department of Human Services (DHS) Monday, and the most important information revealed were the requests made by DHS staff — they want a minimum of 6,000 square feet of space and want a building separate from the Union County Courthouse.

According to Darren Thompson, executive officer for DHS in this area, DHS needs to be move out of their current location at the Union County Courthouse because DHS currently has the opportunity to hire two more employees in Union County, but cannot because they do not have enough space at their current location.

Additionally, Thompson said DHS staff doesn't have adequate conference/meeting room for employees and families to meet.
