‘The Changing Electrical

though it would be consider
ably lower.
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.
He said his committee was
not charged with the respon
sibility of making recom
mendations about disposing
of the property. However, he
said he assumed the county
