Hoffman Sees Little Chance for County Building Sale
County Commissioner Joel Hoffman Jr indicated the Jefferson Standard Life Insurance proposal to take over the High Point county building for 79,674.45 in lieu of claims stands little chance. He argued the building pays for itself and the county saves rents for sheriff fees taxes and welfare, while noting court income from the High Point division of the superior court. The board heard the plan amid related litigation and other actions, with some members reportedly not in favor.
