County Approves Sale of Old Courthouse

The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners have approved Clachan Properties, LLC's $700,000 bid for the Old Courthouse.  At this point, Clachan has a 150 day due-diligence period during which time they can back out of the offer to purchase; they will also likely seek historic designation during this time to make the property eligible for tax purposes.  The Old Courthouse was built in 1926 but incorporated parts of an older courthouse on the site from 1896 and added new wings in 1958.  Clachan Properties, LLC also developed the Winston Factory Lofts
