Possible Armory Site Vetted At County Meeting
County commissioners re examined the county fairgrounds as a possible National Guard armory site. A tract of 283 by 430 feet without fair structures was deemed workable. State funds of 60000 and federal 150000 are planned for the armory. The action follows bills filed and a deed arrangement to transfer county land to the state at no cost.
