Fixing a county office building won't come cheap
WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - The New Hanover County Commissioners will be presented with four options to deal with the downtown County Office building at their next
meeting.
The building on 320 Chestnut Street has been closed for almost two years
because a water main break caused heavy damage to the building.
Commissioners will have a range of options from renovating
to demolishing to the inside of the building. None of the four options are cheap,
ranging from $10 million to almost $14 million.
The cheapest option would be to renovate six floors at an annual cost of
$701,000.
The most expensive option would be to demolish and fully rebuild all
seven floors of the building at a cost of $870,000 per year.
County commissioners will discuss their options Monday at 9:00 a.m.
