The Henry County Board of Commissioners discussed the space limitations of the county’s elections office at its Aug. 4 regular meeting and directed staff to submit a resolution next month for a new building for the department. Elections director Ameika Pitts mentioned a possible location change for her department during her report at the meeting, citing safety reasons as well as lack of space.
County administrative staff noted a few options, including a 10-acre tract owned by the county that could be the site of a new building either for the elections office alone or to share with the tax commissioner’s office.
