County funds purchase of property

The Alleghany County Board of Commissioners agreed Monday night, on a 3-2 split vote, to fund $107,025 to help pay for the 10 acre Max Armentrout house and property, which had a payment due Tuesday, Aug. 5, the day after the commissioners' meeting.

The board of Alleghany Fairgrounds Inc. signed an agreement with Armentrout last year to purchase the property and had requested that the county fund the purchase in this year's budget. The land is directly adjacent to the fairgrounds.
