HENDERSON — The Tri-County as a whole lost population between 2010 and 2020, with losses in Vance and Warren counties more than offsetting a gain in Granville County, U.S. Census
HENDERSON — Vance County and Henderson officials are once again on the hunt for an economic development director, as the incumbent, Christian Lockamy, has resigned effective Aug. 26.
HENDERSON â COVID-19 case rates in the Tri-County are once again on the rise, the Granville-Vance Health Department officials said this week in their latest bulletin about the virusâ effects on the area.
As of July 28, there had been 102 new cases in Granville County and 52 in Vance County, with 41 and 21 of those, respectively, emerging in the past week, Granville-Vance Health Director Lisa Harrison said in the report.
Harrison called that a âconcerning resurgenceâ of infections, one that shows people should not âunderestimate COVID-19 and its ability to remain a threat to health and life.â
But there have been no additional deaths in the two counties in the past month, and vaccination rates are improving, she said.
HENDERSON â City officials want to join forces with Vance County to deal with an abandoned dry cleaner thatâs at the corner of Chestnut Street and Andrews Avenue, but the potential cost has county officials wary.
The former Henderson Laundry is at 341 N. Chestnut St., and has been unused for many years. Though it remains in private hands, the last time anyone paid property taxes on it was October 2010.
Officials want to see some other enterprise emerge on the property, but the problem is that as a former dry cleaner, itâs quite possible that there are any number of toxic chemicals in, on or under the building that need cleaning up.
