CaroMont dispute returns to federal docket after mediation deadlock
CaroMont board sued the county in July over expansion plans. Exiediation talks began in September, then hit an impasse last month as commissioners said state officials refused a call to proceed. The sticking point was guarantees of reappointment for certain CaroMont board members, which the commissioners would not provide.
