Dade County Launching “Coffee Talk with the Commission” Beginning Feb. 17

TRENTON, Ga.  The Dade County Board of Commissioners will launch “Coffee Talk with the Commission” beginning Tuesday, Feb. 17, from 9 to 10 a.m. at the Historic Dade County Courthouse.

“Our goal is to provide a welcoming space where residents can learn, ask questions, and engage directly with their commissioners and staff,” said Chairman Don Townsend. “With SPLOST on the May ballot, we want citizens to have clear, factual information about what it is, how it works and how it impacts our community.”

Held on Tuesdays from 9 to 10 a.m., the series is designed to provide an open, informal setting for citizens to speak directly with county commissioners and staff about important topics in local government.

The initial sessions will focus on SPLOST — the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax — following the commission’s recent vote to place the measure on the May ballot for renewal. Residents will have the opportunity to learn what SPLOST is, how it works, and how it impacts Dade County.

County commissioners and staff will be available to answer questions and provide information about past SPLOST investments, current projects and what renewal would mean for the community.

Residents are encouraged to attend, ask questions and engage in discussion.
