Kane County officials have announced the purchase of a new building in Elgin that will serve as a satellite office for the Kane County Health Department and other county government services.

This is an idea we have been working on for many years to make our services available to people in the Elgin area and northern Kane County," said Kane County Clerk Jack Cunningham. The Clerk's Office will offer services such as voter support and vital records.

Kane County Health Department Executive Director Michael Isaacson stated, “We want to increase the behavioral health services offered onsite and provide a wide array of clinical services currently unavailable in northern Kane County."

The new site will also include a satellite office for Kane County's Court Services, which operates divisions providing Probation, Pretrial Services, and Diagnostic Services under the Chief Judge of the 16th Judicial Circuit.

This marks Kane County's first building acquisition since 2009, following the purchase of the Montgomery Ward Building in St. Charles, which houses the Circuit Clerk's Office and Kane County Branch Court.

The Health Department's existing location in Aurora will remain fully operational. The one-story, 46,093-square-foot building was acquired for $2.8 million. This facility will expand the county's capacity to provide essential services to residents, with occupancy anticipated for early 2025.  Learn more about the services at the Kane County Health Department by visiting https://www.kanehealth.com/
