New Plan Advanced For Old Co Home
A revised proposal for exchanging the Old County Home property for 118 acres near the State Hospital was debated Friday.

State Hospital directors cited farming's therapeutic value and access concerns, while the Industrial Development Council backed the plan as a path to county job growth.
