After serving the public for three months at the Alliance Campus of Western Nebraska Community College, Nebraska Workforce Development is back in its regular location at 302 Box Butte Avenue.

Workforce Development was forced to relocate following the June 12 standoff between law enforcement and Andy Gonzales at Thiele Pharmacy and Gifts.

The Workforce Development office is near Thiele’s back door where law enforcement were forced to enter using chemicals that damaged the interior of both buildings.

Workforce Development Director Mark Anderson says his staff returned to their regular location on Wednesday, Sept. 19.

He says the building has received new paint, new carpet, and other upgraded fixtures.

“We invite the public to come in and see our remodeled offices,” he said.

The neighboring Theile building will remain closed until October. The Pharmacy is currently serving the public at 2307 Box Butte Avenue in a former medical building north of Box Butte General Hospital.
