Heard Community Service Update
The Greenwood County Commissioners held a short business meeting on Monday, Sept. 29, where they approved a motion finding the entire fence line insufficient; heard an update from the community service day and approved routine weekly items.
Following a 10-minute executive session with County Counselor Paul Dean, for legal matters pertaining to the recent fence viewing, the commission approved a motion noting that the fence in Section 19-20 in Township 27 (near 2775 50th St, in Fall River) was insufficient and needs to be repaired and/or replaced. The commission approved a 90-day time frame for Carvel “Kurly” Hebb and Brad Smith to repair/replace the fence on their right-hand side.
In new business, Jamie Lindamood shared that Eureka Junior/Senior High School recently held a successful community service day. Lindamood stated students completed projects around the community, including the Greenwood County Courthouse, Veterans Memorial Wall, Greenwood County Community Center (GC3), the parks and more.
