• Thomasville wants old furiture plant torn down ASAP

    Officials in Thomasville want a former furniture manufacturing plant torn down, the Lexington Dispatch reports.

    The former Thomasville Furniture Industries, Inc. facility, known as Plant B, is in disrepair. City officials tell the Dispatch that Schwarz Properties, the real estate company that owns the property, promised to tear down the building on Fisher Ferry Street by the end of August.

    City officials say they want a timetable for demolition, as the 100-year-old building is an eyesore and unsafe.

    A Schwarz Properties representative told the newspaper that the building will be torn down, but a date has not yet been established
