County judge Duane Peters is looking at more than 40 million dollars in federal pandemic grant money as a funding source.
The commission's consultant proposed a 16,000 square foot building that could open as soon as 2026.
By the year 2030, the office is projected to perform 204 autopsies a year for Brazos County and another 104 autopsies a year for surrounding counties.
The office would start with six employees, earning a combined $472,000 dollars a year that does not include county benefits.
Commissioner Steve Aldrich raised the idea of adding a laboratory, which was not included in the consultant's report.
