Editor's Note: Administrator Will Parker, who confirmed yesterday the closure was due to the result of a COVID-19 rapid test with a positive result, said the result of the second test was not available. Because of that, the Commission is planning to close the facility for all things other than those listed above. He added that the Commission can reopen the courthouse, if determined prudent, prior to Oct. 5 Click HERE for the story from Thursday on the closure.
