At their winter retreat in Cornelia, Habersham County commissioners will discuss options to secure a Local Option Sales Tax and try to map out the future of the county landfill, among other things.
The gathering, set for Friday, Jan. 26, will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Commerical Executive Suites in the old Regions Bank building in downtown Cornelia. The public is welcome to attend.
The all-day retreat gives commissioners dedicated time to focus on the issues facing the county. It also allows them an opportunity to discuss potential solutions and long-range goals.
On the agenda
On Thursday, the county released the retreat schedule.
Bill Stark, co-founder of the local leadership development company LeaderGov, is among Friday’s scheduled speakers. He’ll present a session on team building and planning.
Habersham County Manager Alicia Vaughn will address the commission along with county department heads. Public Works Director Jerry Baggett, Emergency Services Director Jeff Adams, Landfill Director Johnnie Vickers, Development Authority Director Mike Beechum, and county Finance Director Tim Sims are scheduled to deliver presentations.
