Commissioners select Arney Hill as site for new county archives, approve architect search
Summary
The Carter County Board of Commissioners recommended on June 15 that the county use the Arney Hill property for a new County Archives building and begin hiring an architect; the motion passed 16–2.
The Carter County Board of Commissioners on June 15 recommended using county‑owned Arney Hill property as the site of a future County Archives building and authorized beginning the process to hire an architect.
The recommendation came from the Buildings and Grounds Committee. The motion, made by Avery Wynn and seconded by Aaron Frazier, passed by an electronic vote recorded as sixteen yes and two no. Commissioners Robert Acuff and Donnie Cable were recorded as voting no. The motion directs county staff to proceed with architect selection and initial design work; funding was part of the meeting’s broader capital project and bond amendments.
The board did not set a construction timeline at the meeting; staff was directed to begin procurement for architectural services so design work can begin once funding and scope are finalized.
The recommendation is recorded in the meeting packet; next procedural steps include issuing a request for qualifications or proposals for architecture services and returning procurement results to the board for approval.
