Lynchburg Drops Suit Over Post Office Building Permit
Lynchburg will not press further its challenge to the federal government’s bypass of local building permits for a $6.5 million post office. City Attorney William M. Phillips cited assurances from contractors that the job is being built properly and two recent Supreme Court decisions weakening the city’s case. General District Court Judge LeRoy E. Glass had dismissed the suit, which aimed to test federal supremacy in local building code enforcement.
