GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. — The plan to build a new Guilford County Sheriff's Office building is on hold.
The county attorney confirmed Friday the project is paused.
On Thursday, the Guilford County Board of Commissioners voted to terminate its Construction manager due to a change in the working relationship.
The sheriff's office announced plans to build a new administration building downtown several years ago. The county planned to start tearing down the current one last month.
The completion of demolition is the next step in the multi-phased project. Demolition on the interior of the building has already begun. The county intends to work with the contractor to ensure the protection and preservation of the work.
Guilford County will conduct a competitive bid process for the remaining phases of the project in the near future.
