The stage is set for tonight’s HABCO Primary Debate at the Demorest Municipal Complex. Join us for dinner and meet the candidates from 5 to 6:15 p.m. Meals will be available for purchase from the Oba food truck (Brazilian BBQ). The debate begins at 6:30 p.m. and will feature all of the candidates for the Habersham County Commission and Habersham County Board of Education.
The severe weather has impacted our community and we want everyone to be safe and aware of road closings. If you are unable to attend in person, please join our live-stream on NowHabersham.com and the Now Habersham Facebook page.
Candidates will discuss a wide range of topics including what is the best way to lower property taxes and resolve a nearing-capacity landfill? Should an increase in sales tax or some version of LOST be added in our county? Should teachers be trained to carry weapons? How can all students succeed in the school system?
There are eight County Commissioner candidates and 4 Board of Education candidates who will give their ideas on these issues and others Thursday night at the Demorest Municipal Complex in Demorest, GA.
Knowing who is best suited for the job of making the community better is difficult. That is why Now Habersham is hosting a debate for you, our readers, to be able to hear what the candidates have to say and how they plan to help us move forward in the growth that is coming to our county.
Now Habersham would like to thank our sponsors for the event: Piedmont University, The Norton Agency, McDonald & Cody, Dockery’s Electrical Plumbing Heating & Air, and The Habersham County Republican Party, N.E. Georgia Signs, and OBA – Brazilian Cuisine.
It will be an evening of much-needed information and one you will not want to miss.
