At a meeting Tuesday morning that was postponed from its regular date because of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, the Limestone County Commission set an open house from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Feb. 3, at the Washington Street Courthouse Annex.

The public is invited to talk with Commission Chairman Stanley Menefee and district commissioners.

Also at the meeting, the commission agreed to commit more than $450,000 to create a new public library in the old Kroger building. For more on this subject, see coverage of the library meeting in a related story listed at right, or under Local News at enewscourier.com.
