WATSONVILLE, CA — The County of Santa Cruz announced Wednesday it had closed escrow on property in Watsonville for a 121,000-square-foot building to consolidate services for South County residents. The property is located at 500 Westridge Drive and the future building will consolidate into one location the various services currently scattered in buildings throughout the South County. That plot is currently occupied by the West Marine Corporate Headquarters and sits along the Cabrillo Highway, near the Driscoll's and Applied Motion Products buildings. It cost $16.4 million, the Santa Cruz Sentinel reported. Medical and behavioral health services are expected to remain at their current location at the Freedom Boulevard campus. Officials estimate the project will take three years to complete. — Patch Editor Courtney Teague contributed to this report Copyright © 2021 Bay City News, Inc. All rights reserved.
