Henry County Board of Commissioners

McDONOUGH — The Henry County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution Tuesday adding an additional 10 years to the lease agreement between the county local non-profit A Friend’s House.

The lease has been in effect since 1996 and would have expired in 2026. Under the terms of the new agreement, the lease has been extended to December of 2036. A Friend’s House operates a shelter that temporarily houses abused, neglected and deprived children. The agreement was extended, as the board agreed that there is a continued need for these services. Under the terms of the agreement, the non-profit is responsible for the upkeep of plumbing, electrical and mechanical equipment as well as the maintenance of the grounds and parking areas at the facility.
