County advances courthouse annex plan
Young County Commissioners approved the hiring of an architect to sketch plans to build out the old Graham Leader printing building as offices for county employees. The Commissioners voted 3-1 at their May 22 meeting to move ahead with the project to give the county more office and storage space for its expanding staff. The County had traded a plot of land beside the Young County Courthouse to the Graham Community Foundation for the Graham Leader building at 417 Second St. and an adjacent house at 403 Second St. County Judge Win Graham abstained from voting and Precinct 3 Commissioner Stacey Rogers opposed the motion to hire the architect.
