Arnold: No connection to High Point DSS building
Steve Arnold , vice chairman of the Guilford County Board of Commissioners, said last week that he’s not connected to the sale of a building that will be used for the new High Point home of the county’s social services offices.
Wayne McDonald, who sold the property to the county, worked with Arnold and his company, Arcon. McDonald Both Arnold and Arcon are going through bankruptcy proceedings.
“We were a partner in a project called Old Eden Development, and that company has long since been closed down,” Arnold said last week. During votes in which commissioners were choosing what to do with the new DSS facility, Arnold abstained from voting.
“I hadn’t talked with him in five, six, seven years,” Arnold said. “As I say, there’s not a relationship, and I have no interest in the building on a financial basis. We wanted to make sure that it was on the up-and-up.”
