YESTERYEARS
25 YEARS AGO: It was announced that the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors were investigating a possible new home site for the Department of Social Services. The new building would cost $48 million, and would house 800 employees and would accommodate up to 1,000 visitors a day. The current offices at Oakdale Road and Scenic Avenue, County Center 3, was deemed a “no-build” alternative.
