Granville County Government’s Administration and Human Resources offices have relocated and are now operating from 104 Belle Street in Oxford. The move from 141 Williamsboro Street is part of a transition plan to address changing needs and the impacts of population growth on county services.
The new location, which remains central to other county properties, includes office space for the County Manager, Assistant County Manager, Clerk to the Board/Executive Assistant to the County Manager, Deputy Clerk, Human Resources Director, Human Resources Specialist and Public Information Officer/Grants Coordinator. An office and meeting room is also available on site for the Granville County Board of Commissioners.
“The mission of Granville County is to provide its residents with an array of services to enhance their quality of life through a responsive, effective and efficient local government,” said Granville County Manager Michael Felts. “This office transition, as well as other recent office moves, has been made to achieve this mission while preparing for future service needs of our growing community.”
The reassessment of county facilities is the result of a 2010 space needs study which identified a need to better utilize available space and to plan for future expansions. Recommendations from that report have led to the relocation of the N.C. Cooperative Extension office (2017) and the office of the Board of Elections (2018), as well as new construction for the Granville County Animal Shelter and a Law Enforcement Center (2020). Relocating the County Administration and Human Resources offices enables transitions of county services to continue as the county grows.
“County Administration is reviewing several options for the former Administration and Human Resources Offices,” Felts noted. “Once final decisions are made, we will begin taking steps to transition other county services into the available space.”
The Finance Department and the Tax Administration Office will continue to operate from 141 Williamsboro Street.
All mail for the County Manager/Administration staff and for the Human Resources office should continue to be sent to PO Box 906, Oxford, NC 27565. Phone numbers and email addresses will remain the same.
