At the June 24 meeting Dr. Cobler raised public inquiries about the Reedstone property in Bassett, saying the county had received a large volume of calls and emails about the site.

Dr. Cobler made the statement on the record to explain county actions and public communications regarding the property.
Why it matters: The statement indicates county officials are treating the Reedstone property as a safety hazard based on a professional assessment and are addressing related communications from the public and media.
