Robert Yelton gave a run-through of the lease agreement for the historic courthouse and the Earl Scruggs Center, and County Manager David Dear gave an overview of commonly asked questions via Powerpoint.

Update: 7:41 p.m.

Commissioner Eddie Holbrook said, "It's impossible to please everyone. In my opinion, the historic courthouse and the Scruggs Center is a step forward."

The lease agreement was unanimously accepted by the Board of Commissioners.
