The Fayetteville-based organization subsequently prepared three documents explaining the federal leasing process and the requirements prospective lessees could face—a one-page guide to leasing historic structures, information for prospective lessees, and a more comprehensive guide to federal historic-structure leasing. The Dun Glen Ark is to be retained, although the park service will consider a viable proposal to lease it. Its authors concluded that regular use could provide the most effective means of preserving Thurmond’s historic buildings over the long term. The agency concluded, however, that deterioration had already compromised aspects of the buildings’ historic integrity and that demolition would allow money and staff resources to be redirected toward other historic resources. At the same time, the Thurmond Town Council is preparing to seek legal counsel to ask a federal court to stop the demolition program itself.
