Fran Brock remembers the mold. The county coordinator for the Oktibbeha County Extension Service spent eight years working in the 73-year-old former Felix Long Memorial Hospital building downtown before county leaders moved her office last May, along with Human Services and several others, to a more adequate home on Lynn Lane one that thankfully has heating and air conditioning.
Oktibbeha County supervisors on Monday left plans for tearing down the old Felix Long Memorial Hospital building in limbo and sent an architecture firm hoping to design the work back to square one.
Every time a master gardener dies in Oktibbeha County, the Mississippi State University county Extension office plants a magnolia in their honor at the Oktibbeha County Memorial Garden.
