The Bloomington Pantagraph reports that Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich signed legislation on Thursday that gives Livingston County the option to take over ownership of the old Illinois State Police headquarters on old Route 66 near Pontiac.
The county has the option to pay $10 for the unique gun-shaped building, built in 1941, and the land. State police quit using the building in 2004.
Local officials have discussed converting the building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, into a tourism center or museum.
