Several building projects were considered by the Martin County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday, including remodeling the county-owned building at 1200 N. State Street in Fairmont for use of county offices.
County Coordinator Scott Higgins said that the building committee has talked about potentially bringing two other county offices, that the county is leasing space for, into the 1200 N. State Street building, which is currently being used for some storage.
