At the Monroe County Commissioners meeting on April 17th, Sheriff Department Jail Transition Director Cory Grass gave an update on the Jail Transition Team, and shared highlights from the facilities they toured.
Commissioner Julie Thomas followed up after his presentation on the jail facility tours, and asked Grass to explain what else he has been doing.
Grass responded.
Later in the meeting, the Commissioners heard a request from Highway Department Director Lisa Ridge to award the 2024 Community Crossing Grant Paving Projects to Milestone Contractors. Ridge also shared which roads will be renovated.
Commission Julie Thomas thanked Ridge and the Highway Department for their work, and commented that the West side of the county will be busy with road work this summer.
The 2024 Community Crossing Grant Project Bid awarded to Milestone Contractors was approved unanimously.
The next Monroe County Commissioners meeting will be held on April 24th.
Feature Report:
In today’s feature report, local journalist Dave Askins of the B Square Bulletin reads an item from his weekly newsletter for the WFHB Local News. We turn to Askins for more.
Veteran service organizations have a problem: their volunteer pool is aging out. Not enough younger volunteers are signing up to replace the older volunteers who are retiring. Jenny Tracy discovered this problem at the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 18 in Bloomington when she went there looking for help while her husband was deployed. Now she pays it forward by supporting local National Guard families and recruiting the next generation of service volunteers. There’s a fundraiser coming up on May 11th at the American Legion Post on West Third Street. Jenny Tracy is our guest this week on a new episode of Activate!, coming your way right now on the WFHB Local News.
