WARSAW — Members of the public got a peek at Warsaw Parks and Recreation Department’s new office building on Saturday, May 20.

An open house was held then for the facility located at 123 E. Fort Wayne St.

The Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce had held a ribbon-cutting for the building on Wednesday, May 17.

The more than 6,000-square-foot building includes storage space and a lunch room, as well as an area to work on department vehicles and wash bay for them.

The project cost $3.6 million, and the city is paying for it out of budgeted and bond funds.
