Stephens Co. Holds Retreat

Stephens County is also preparing for the year ahead.

Recently, county commissioners gathered for a planning retreat.

County Commission Chair Dennis Bell said it went well.

“This was a good thing we did at the first of the year just to get everything on track and keep it going on track,” said Bell.

Bell said they were able to talk about a number of topics and ideas for the next 12 months.

“We talked about everything from the financial situation the county is in, to county ordinances, and the biggest thing is roads and what we are going to do about paving roads,” said Bell.

Bell says no action was taken and more discussion will happen on all of these topics, especially as the county begins work on the Fiscal Year 2017 budget over the coming weeks and months.
