Mendocino County Veterans Services office moving home
MENDOCINO Co., 7/1/24 — In January Mendocino County staff moved the office of Veterans Services into the county’s Public Health building in Ukiah. There was unused space in the Public Health building, and the move was seen as a cost-saving measure.

Veterans complained at a January Board of Supervisors meeting that they were not consulted about the move, which landed the Mendocino County unit of the state’s Air Quality Management District Office in the house on Observatory.
