Plaxico was asked why the committee chose the Gar- lington Street site (20 acres for $55,000) as opposed to a site owned by the City of Laurens (40 acres for $32,- 000). He said that grading on the city site would far’ exceed the cost of grading on the site selected. When asked what the grading would cost on the site selec ted, Plaxico replied that he didn’t know the exact figure but that it was included in the cost for the completed project. He also said the site selec ted is better situated to serve all of the people of the county. He said, ‘‘We aren’t! just looking 20 years ahead. | We’re trying to look 100 years ahead and when you look at the long-range advantages of this site and the over-all cost of the entire project, the dif ference in the prices of the two sites is a small consider ation. We got what we feel is the best site at a reason-! able cost.’> Plaxico also was asked what the county would do with the buildings it now owns (such ciS the Health Department building) if the referendum is successful and all county offices are moved into the new courthouse.
