LEASE APPROVAL - 503 WEST FRANKLIN STREET <br />At the February 20, 1996 Commissioners meeting, the Board requested information regarding <br />proposed programming for the Skill Development Center. John Link indicated that the agenda abstract <br />describes the programs, number of staff by agency, projected number of clients and funding contributions. <br />The Board also authorized the Staff to pursue other options which might reduce the overall <br />County cost. It has been determined by staff that one such option appears to be outright acquisition of the <br />facility. <br />It was the consensus of the Board to defer action on this item until after the closed session. <br />X.

RESTORATION OF THE NORWOOD-JONES LAW OFFICE <br />The Board received a report on the condition of the Norwood-Jones Office, a historic building <br />located on the corner of Margaret Lane and Court Street in Hillsborough and owned by the County. <br />Members of the Preservation Fund of Hillsborough, Inc. asked that the Board give them <br />permission to restore the building and that together they establish a time frame in which the County and <br />Preservation Fund can work together on this worthy venture. They want to restore the building and open it to <br />the public.
