CHESTER COUNTY, Tenn. Chester County commissioners met to discuss some concerns, and one of them was regarding a vacant building.
There is a continued debate between Chester County Mayor Barry Hutcherson and county commissioners regarding the decision to purchase the former Regions Bank in Henderson on North Church Street.
During the Chester County Commission meeting on Monday, Hutcherson asked for a motion to resume the discussion on whether the vacant bank building would be purchased using the $3.3 million in the COVID-19 relief funding.
“Right now the guidelines for the COVID money being spent is uncertain,” Hutcherson said.

HENDERSON, Tenn. The Chester County commission is debating how to spend their COVID-19 relief funding.
The commission wants to buy the old Regions Bank building on North Church Street in Henderson for the county’s trustee and clerks offices.
If approved, the building would be bought using the $3.3 million in the COVID relief fund.
Chester County commissioner Joseph Melaro, who represents district four, says the commission needs to take more time to discuss the possibility.
“That is my biggest concern is we are trying to push something through so quickly, just because it is something some people think is an opportunity we shouldn’t pass up,” Melaro said.
