At the commission’s public hearing on June 24, commissioners did not come to a consensus on the FY 2025 budget. Due to not approving the budget prior to June 30, the commission was forced to approve a spending resolution to avoid a shutdown of most county operations.
Both public hearings and consideration of approving the budget and the millage rate will take place at 6 p.m. in the Jury Assembly Room in the Habersham County Courthouse at 295 Llewellyn Street in Clarkesville.
Work session
The Habersham County Commission will also meet on Monday, July 22, for a work session to discuss the FY 2025 budget. The work session will take place at 5 p.m. in the Commission Conference Room on the main floor of the Habersham County Administration Building at 130 Jacob’s Way in Clarkesville.
