WADESBORO Since Dec. 16 the Anson County Government Building has been closed to the public due to the amount of positive COVID-19 cases within the building and it will remain closed until further notice causing residents to question whether important services are being provided.
The building, including tax portion of the government center and the DMV is predicted to be closed for at least another week, according to the county manager Barron Monroe. There have been about eight employees who have contracted the virus.
This closure brings up an issue of whether or not people can still pay their property taxes or if tax payments are being processed. The amount of staff working in the building has been significantly reduced, causing a delay in processing transactions.
