New member: Hugh Torance House and Store board chair Bill Russell said Danny Phillips, a Huntersville town board member, is the nonprofit’s newest member.

The Hugh Torance board met Dec. 12 and voted to accept Phillips a member, as well as to contract with architect Allen Brooks to prioritize the repairs made possible by the town’s donation of nearly $19,000.

Russell said cleaning and repairs are expected to be finished by April.
