Oconee County Board Of Commissioners Holding Planning Sessions This Week In Athens

The agenda released provides no hints about content of the discussions, but the courthouse is almost certain to be a topic.

Oconee County Commissioners are to hold what are being called planning sessions from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday and Friday.

The meetings will be held in Athens, in the conference room of the Northeast Georgia Regional Commission, 305 Research Drive, which runs from College Station Road to Barnett Shoals Road.

Commissioners will discuss and set priorities for upcoming capital projects and consider possible policy changes, according to Jeff Benko, administrative officer for the county.

The meetings are open to the public, as required by law, but the agenda does not include any opportunity for citizens to speak.

Benko said the county does not plan to make a video or audio record of the meeting.
