Summary
Residents at the Sept. 8 meeting asked the Whitfield County Board of Commissioners to release inspection and engineering reports after the county demolished a barn at Prater’s Mill and announced plans that would not restore the dam as a working grist mill.
Several Whitfield County residents urged the Board of Commissioners on Sept. 8 for more transparency and information about recent work at Prater’s Mill, including the demolition of a barn and plans for the mill’s dam and water flow.
Tom Hillford, 215 Oak Street, asked the board to publish the inspection reports and the decision-making record regarding the barn’s demolition and said some cleaning products used in county buildings raised health concerns. Multiple residents who spoke later at the meeting requested to see any structural or engineering reports and asked what happened to historically valuable barn wood removed during demolition.
