The Boydton building
boom is well underway as work progress on four major projects within the
bounds of the Mecklenburg county seat. After what seems a long prep
period, the Courthouse has begun its renovation, expansion and
restoration and the Boydton Life Station eagerly awaits the finish of
its new facility. At the same time the Boydton United Methodist Church's
new Fellowship Hall has now grown to a point, two stories tall and the
medical facility "HealthCare on The Square" is seeing the end near on
the major repair to its rear wall. This last project will prevent any
further water intrusion into the ground floor quarters of the dental
offices which are housed in this historic building. In sum, about $13
million is being spent on these four projects. Boydton is looking
forward to the increased vitality that these projects bring to the town
and the surrounding county.

started. Just a few weeks later in April the construction
project can already be seen taking shape in the county seat town
of Boydton. The project is expected to be finished in about 3
months
