The Middlesex County Board of Supervisors (MCBS) voted 5-0 Tuesday, Oct. 4, to fund an estimated $4.5 million renovation of the former Lewis B. Puller Vocational Center building at Cooks Corner to serve as headquarters for the Middlesex County Sheriff’s Office.

Supervisors have been going back and forth for months on whether or not to build a new sheriff’s office building or renovate the 40-year old former Puller Center building.
