Logan City's Light and Power department prepares for new building

Logan City’s Light and Power department met with Wyatt Mitchell, a Logan architectural and interior designer company, this week to begin planning their new building.

Brittany Mitchell, co-owner of the company, said that the department needs a space just for them because they haven't had a permanent building for the last two years.

“They have just been tossed around into a bunch of temporary facilities. They've never really had a building that works for them,” she said. “They need a building that their whole team can be in."

Mark Montgomery, the department’s director, said that having their own building will be useful.

“It will be nice to have a permanent place,” he said. “We've been temporarily housed over the last several years, so it’ll be good.”

Co-owner of the company, Craig Wyatt, said that he and his team are excited to begin working on this project.

“We've worked on other city buildings before and they've been good,” he said. “We’re looking forward to working on this one.”

In the kick-off meeting the department communicated their needs and wants for the building to Mitchell.

“Their looking a lot into design features. They are looking into solar panels and ground floor heat,” she said. “It all kinda goes back to the sustainable stuff."

The company’s next step is to move forward with the construction documents and then submit them to Logan City for approval.

“You have to submit a site plan to Logan City and then they have to approve it to make sure we are meeting the proper city ordinances,” said Mitchell.

The company hopes to submit their documents by the end of the month.

Construction is estimated to begin in September.
