Consolidation of Mental Health Services will get a closer look

Benton and Franklin county met Monday and gave the initial okay on a study dealing with a consolidation of mental health and other services in the Bi-County area.

Ken Roughton with Mid-Columbia Behavioral Health says the study could bring together the work of several health agencies under one roof by 2020.

A study will last up to eight weeks and cost between $15,000 and $20,000.
