Courthouse On Agenda Again For County Commission Meeting Tuesday Night

Oconee County Clerk Jane Greathouse on Wednesday afternoon added two items to the agenda for the Board of Commissioners meeting on Tuesday night.

Commissioners are scheduled to return to the issue of a new courthouse after legal and judicial officials came before them last Tuesday night to say they needed a new facility.

They also are going to consider an amendment to the U.S. Post Office lease agreement with the Oconee County Industrial Development Authority.

The IDA announced at a meeting on Nov. 11 that it wants all of the money from the lease rather than continue to split the lease revenue with the county.

These two new items will join three zoning requests from Barton and Melanie Cartey, who are seeking changes in their property on Snows Mill Road so they can continue to operate Antique Acres wedding reception facilities.

Greathouse also removed from the agenda a special use request from Robert W. Strickland to make it possible for Verizon to construct a cell tower on his property on Parker Creek Road.

For more on these agenda items and a report on the discussion at the meeting last week, go to Oconee County Observations.
