Under the ESPC, Ameresco will implement modernization retrofits
and expansions and energy efficiency solutions, including upgrading
the building’s boilers, the building envelope, controls, HVAC and
ventilation, interior lighting, and other infrastructure needs.
Columbia County recently acquired the John Gumm building, which
first opened its doors in 1919, serving as a school until it closed
in 1999. With the renovations to the John Gumm building, a 30,000
square foot facility, and the nearby courthouse, the county is
looking to make sure it is prepared to serve its workforce and the
surrounding community in the present, and the future.
“This multi-phase project demonstrates the county’s commitment
to enhancing functionality and capacity through strategic
upgrades,” said Margaret Magruder, Columbia County Commissioner.
“John Gumm’s comprehensive transformation ensures that the county
is equipped to meet future demands and uphold our promise of
exceptional service to the community.”
The John Gumm building, upon completion, will house an
auditorium for public meetings, the county’s Small Business
Development Center (SBDC), Columbia-Pacific Economic Development
District, a non-profit, and the Columbia County Museum on the first
floor, as well as office space for various county departments on
the second floor.
“We are proud to be part of the efforts to bring this historic
building into the 21st century,” said Lou Maltezos, Executive Vice
President, Ameresco. “The most sustainable building is the one that
is already built, and through these efficiency upgrades and
retrofits, the county workforce and its residents will be able to
enjoy the John Gumm building for many years to come in a way that
is sustainable for the climate and for their community.”
The Columbia County Board of Commissioners marked a significant
achievement with an exclusive media event on April 17th, 2024, held
at the historic John Gumm Building. Paul Vogel, Columbia Economic
Team’s Commissioner briefed invited community members and
journalists on the latest developments in the county’s Renovation
and Improvement Project.
