Berkeley County offices closed

By Cecelia Mason

July 16, 2012 · Some of Berkeley County’s and Blue Ridge Community and Technical College’s offices in Martinsburg had to close early today.

 

Both are located in the Dunn Building, an old textile mill that housed an outlet mall for many years.

 

News releases from the college and county administration say the offices had to close because an air conditioner broke making temperatures inside the building unacceptable.

 

County offices that are located in the Dunn Building and are affected by the closure include the sheriff’s tax office, the assessor and the county commission. The closure does not affect offices located in other buildings.

 

The county offices are expected to open tomorrow at least in the morning.

 

A college advising fair for Mountain State University students scheduled today and tomorrow in the atrium of the building will not be affected by the closure.

 

It’s scheduled to take place today until 9 p.m. and tomorrow from 9 a.m.- 9 p.m.
