Warren County Library View full size The Warren County Library in Belvidere may become the new headquarters of the county Prosecutor's Office.  
Now that the Warren County Library has left its Belvidere headquarters for good, the county prosecutor's office could become the building's new tenant.

Just steps from the Warren County Courthouse, the 199 Hardwick St. building was vacated March 28 by the library, which is set to move into its new White Township headquarters on April 20.

County Administrator Steve Marvin said while nothing's official, the prosecutor's office is the frontrunner to take over the building.

"We've accepted the proposals and they're being reviewed now," Marvin said.

The prosecutor's office currently operates out of several locations, including the courthouse and Hotel Belvidere. Marvin said they have long sought a centralized hub.

"That's been the discussion for a long time," he said.

Prosecutor Richard Burke said he'd be "thrilled" if the plan works out, as having his personnel under one roof would be beneficial to the department.

"From what I'm told, there should be sufficient space there so that I can get all my people in the same building," Burke said.

Burke said he's glanced around the building but is not sure what it would take to renovate it to his office's specifications.

Any renovations or construction would not happen for at least a year, and Marvin said it's premature to estimate costs.

While the building's fate remains officially undetermined, Marvin said the idea of selling the building is out of question.

"Who would buy it?" Marvin said.
