El Dorado County has long been in need of additional office space in South Lake Tahoe.

If supervisors on Tuesday say yes, a 6,435-square-foot building on Sandy Way will be theirs.

Owners of Tahoe Beach Retreat have title to the building. Prior to their ownership it was a post office. The U.S. Postal Service closed that site in June 2010.

The purchase agreement price is $1.25 million.

This deal has been in the works for about a year.
