February 17, 2020 – A portion of the Washington County Humane Society will be leveled today. The demolition is scheduled to start around 8:30 a.m. A backhoe can be seen from Highway 60 as it rests in front of the building. The structure was supposed to be taken down on Friday, February 14 however frigid temps postponed the event.
