Georgia Department of Transportation workers have been temporarily

moved out of the Macon-Bibb County Traffic Center while mold is

being cleaned off the walls there, although county employees remain

in the building, said Presley, DOT engineer.

Black mold residue covers large portions of the inside walls at the

traffic center, where it was caused by air conditioning problems.

But it is being removed with a bleach solution, then sealed before

rewallpapering, said Nigel Floyd, traffic signal engineer.

After an " emergency " called meeting at 12:45 p.m., which was closed

to the public due to " potential litigation, " Bibb County Attorney

Virgil said he " could neither confirm nor deny " whether there

are any problems with mold at the traffic center or whether the

meeting related to the mold.

County commissioners refused to say anything about the subject of

the meeting and took no action in public session.
