South Carolina courthouse battling toxic mold

Toxic mold has been affecting Newberry County employees for years. Problems go back to when the county excavated to create office space in the basement area. “I saw what looked like mold visibly growing on some papers on the department head’s desk. I saw the coil system in our heating and air condition unit evidencing mold growth,” County Administrator Wayne Adams says. Employees are being moved to other locations until renovations can be made.
