    By MARTY FINLEY mfinley@thenewsenterprise.com

    HARDIN COUNTY — The proposition of moving county offices out of downtown has stalled in recent months, and Fiscal Court members say it will likely remain that way for the foreseeable future.

    The three commissioners agree that the economy, both local and national, is playing a big role in their decision making.
