The Board of Commissioners voted a couple of weeks ago to finalize the purchase of the BB and T building. There will be the need for renovations to the building. The expected move date is at least a year away.
Here is a News and Record article.
The event went well with over 160 in attendance. There were two documents recorded- a substitution of trustee and a satisfaction. I would like to express my appreciation to Secretary of State Elaine Marshall; Business Information Systems, Simplifile, and Electronic Document Logistics (EDL) for making the event a great success!
Greg Niles passed away on Saturday. When I received the call I was just stunned. I spent the rest of the afternoon and evening wrestling with mortality, in intimate prayer, cleaning out gutters, and keeping in my thoughts on his three children–one named Aiden (like my own son).
Greg was a real professional. He enjoyed his job and was about transforming the Planning Department in to a customer service driven operation while respecting planning best practices. I remember last month he showed me a new pictography software program they had developed with GIS. We installed it internally in our office within a week. He was really giddy about showing it to me and how it would benefit the end user. I felt a real kinship with him as a young, energetic Department Director working to transform county government.
I will really miss him. He helped me raise my game so to speak and I keep him, his wife, and his children in my prayers.
