MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) - An odor inside the new Montgomery County Annex Building may be making some employees sick, and now they're moving out until the problem can be solved. 

"Drowsiness, irritated eyes, congestion, those are the symptoms," said Scott Kramer, Risk Manager for Montgomery County.

Employees started complaining about the symptoms in August, but since then officials have been unable to get to the root of the problem.

Kramer says the building passed all environmental tests during its construction.   The county spent an estimated $15 million on renovations after it purchased the building from the Advertiser Company. 

Included: Locations in Auburn, Dothan, Georgiana, Montgomery, Opelika, Pike Road, Prattville, Tallassee and Tuskegee
