The sale of the old courthouse
After Tuesday next week, builder Tom Markovich may be on his way to realizing his dream to turn Oconee’s former courthouse into a hotel. The County Council Tuesday night is set to give the first of three required readings to an ordinance that conveys the dilapidating building at Walhalla’s Main and S. Church to a Markovich group called “Historic Oconee Courthouse LLC.” The council also Tuesday considers second reading of a general obligation bond ordinance of up to $900 thousand.
