Make Clayton Great In 2008
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It seems we all agree that things need to change in Clayton county. Below are some ways you can stay informed on county issues and places to voice your concerns to our elected officials:
Board of commissioner meetings occur every first, second (general work session) and third Tuesday of each month at 7pm, and hear public comments immediately thereafter. The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, January 2 due to the holiday.
Board of education meetings normally take place on the first Monday of each month at 7pm, with up to 30 minutes allotted for public comments. The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, January 7.
New strip mall in your neighborhood? Let your Commissioner and the Zoning Advisory Group know what you do and do not want to see in your community (or anywhere else in Clayton for that matter).
Although the Board of commissioners make the final decision, your opinion could make a difference. Meetings are held on the second Monday of every month at 7pm.
According to Clayton’s official website under Constituent Services: “We work with our citizens and visitors to resolve concerns involving county government, explain county programs, expedite government action and serve as liaison between our departments and the public.” Email ClaytonsListening@co.clayton.ga.us; call (770) 477-3208; fax: (770) 477-3217 or write: Clayton County Board of Commissioners, 112 Smith Street, Jonesboro, 30236 with your concerns.
Of course, the best way to voice your opinion is with your vote. In order to vote as early as February 5 on the upcoming SPLOST, you must register to vote by midnight on January 7.
Any suggestions on how residents can help make Clayton better in 2008?
WISHING ALL CLAYTON COUNTY RESIDENTS A SAFE, BLESSED AND PROSPEROUS 2008!
