Three expenditures for parks and recreation enhancements were approved unanimously by the Henry County Board of Commissioners at its April 20 regular meeting. A $45,730 bid for the purchase of lighting, audio and visual equipment at the Locust Grove Recreation Center was accepted, with funds coming from the county’s capital improvement plan.

A resolution was approved regarding a five-year lease of tractor equipment for the county’s golf course at a cost of $44,882. A separate lease for tractor equipment for parks and athletic facilities has a $24,296 price tag. In both cases, the equipment leases were completed through a state contract.
