The Gilmer County Board of Commissioners held its regular meeting February 11th.  The meeting’s end saw the commissioners head into executive session.  They came out of executive session and announced they had entered a contract on a property located at 220 South Gilmer, near the courthouse.  The purchase price is eighty thousand dollars.  

The Board intends to move the Planning and Zoning into the new property.  The current location of the planning and zoning will become a welcome center.  The museum which is currently housed at the Tabor House will be moved into the new welcome center.  The Tabor House has had a great deal of investment however its current condition led to the decision to move the museum.  There is no time frame of when this will occur yet however FYN will update as the plan proceeds.
