We’ve Sold Our East Main Street Office

E-Main has been sold! Lewiston sold the E-main building where the community living services programs was provided. When I became president a few years ago my goal was always to combine buildings between E-main and Snake River. The E-Main building was always too small and the Snake River building was too large. Due to the budget cuts OUI decided it was time to take action. Both building’s went up for sale and we would find a building to accommodate the two. After several months we had an offer for the E-main building and the Board accepted it. After moving it was determined that the Snake River Building was perfect for both. Now, all the E-main folks are now at the Snake River building. The move happened at the end of March. There was a lot of help from everyone. And after a couple of weeks the transition is running smoothly. I am so glad to see all the people again on a daily basis.
