Snow in metro Atlanta: Fulton County offices open late
February 29, 2014 Atlanta - Picture shows The Fulton County Justice Center in downtown Atlanta on Friday, February 29, 2014. Fulton County will spent $1.3 million this year on critical repairs needed at its leaky, moldy Government Center downtown. But neglect of other county facilities already has cost Fulton taxpayers more than $400,000 in emergency repairs over the last year, an Atlanta Journal-Constitution investigation shows. The money paid for quick fixes to leaks, mold, rodents and other problems at the Fulton County Justice Center and other facilities. Because they were approved to address emergencies, all of the contracts were awarded without competition. HYOSUB SHIN / HSHIN@AJC.COM
Fulton County offices will open at 10 a.m. today because of icy conditions in many areas.
Jurors should report for duty at 10 a.m. and mission-essential and public safety employees should report to work at their regular time. Shuttle service for employees and jurors will begin at 9 a.m.
Also, Fulton’s transportation for seniors and adults with developmental disabilities will not operate today. Clients and caregivers with questions about transportation can call 404-965-3085 for more information.
The winter storm that dumped more than a half-foot of snow across parts of north Georgia Wednesday and overnight has moved out of the state. While metro Atlanta interstates are wet but mostly ice free, roads in far northern suburbs were still covered with ice and snow early Thursday’s morning. Full story.
