Cumberland County Clerk Office closed for repairs

The office of Cumberland County Clerk Jules Bryson will be closed due to structural damage to the 117 year old building. The damage was discovered after a water leak revealed major structural damage in the large courtroom above the clerk’s office. An inspection by a structural engineering firm found at least two large oak roof trusses have significant damage. Mayor Allen Foster says they are actively working to find a way to safely reopen the office as quickly as possible. Other offices in the building will be operating normally.
