In separate news releases on Tuesday, the Oconee County Board of Commissioners and the Oconee County Board of Education announced plans to transfer ownership of the Oconee County Civic Center from the county to Oconee County Schools.
If the plans are approved by both Boards, the county would transfer ownership of the nearly 30,000 square foot Civic Center, located at 2661 Hog Mountain Road, to Oconee County Schools and receive in return 42.7 acres of undeveloped land owned by the Board of Education on U.S. 441 north of Bishop.
