Incoming Henry County Attorney Abbie Liechty has objected to a plan by the Board of Supervisors to move the county attorney’s office from the first floor of the courthouse across the street to the former location of the county sheriff’s department and jail

Incoming Henry County Attorney Abbie Liechty has objected to a plan by the Board of Supervisors to move the county attorney’s office from the first floor of the courthouse across the street to the former location of the county sheriff’s department and jail. Liechty was the winner in last Tuesday’s election and takes office in January. She told the Board at a meeting last week the office of the county attorney provides service for the county’s citizens and the other departments and employees located in the courthouse. The HawkEye reports that Liechty believes the plan to co-locate across the street with Juvenile Court Services is also problematic. One supervisor said further study needs to be done to make sure all space in the Courthouse is used, before moving offices out of the building. The board started looking at space reconfiguration when the public asked for more room in the board meeting room on the first floor of the courthouse. The board has considered options and has met for work sessions a few times throughout the year. Henry County Auditor Robin Detrick asked the board why none of them have consulted her directly about any of the plans under consideration and why work sessions are scheduled on days she is not able to attend—most recently on Election Day. Another work session to consider courthouse space is set for this Thursday.
