On Thursday, April 7th, the Dade County Board of Commissioners met for their monthly workshop and meeting.
Dade County voters may have another thing to vote on in the November general elections; as it appears the Dade County Board of Commissioners will bring T-SPLOST back to the vote. Multiple commissioners gave spirited speeches regarding what T-SPLOST passing would bring to the community. The video of the workshop and meeting can be viewed at the bottom of the story.
During the meeting, Bruce Case of Blevins Construction Management, Inc presented the company’s bid on the Historic Courthouse Restoration Project. SPLOST funds of $1.8 million were approved for the project.
