Vance County Manager Jordan McMillen provided WIZS with the following summary of the Vance County Properties Committee meeting held Monday, September 30, 2019:

The committee began a discussion on the Henry A. Dennis Building, located at 282 S. Garnett St. in downtown Henderson, in light of a recent request from the Elections Department to vacate the building.

The committee made no commitments for moving any departments from the building but discussed the possibility of utilizing its space more efficiently. With the former Eaton Johnson Middle School building eventually being renovated for Vance Co. Department of Social Services and the Senior Center, we will have several existing spaces/buildings opening up.

One of the main messages from the committee meeting was that we need to work within our financial means when considering the future movement of departments and/or building renovations.

The committee also mentioned the history of the Dennis Building, and we will be doing some research to determine if it is registered or can be registered as historic.

Regarding jointly owned property, the committee will be recommending two jointly owned properties be conveyed to the City of Henderson to allow them to handle the legal work related to offers made on the properties.
