The Henry County Board of Commissioners approved a new transit master plan for the county and also set qualifying fees for 2022 elections, in which three seats on the board will be contested.

These actions took place at the Jan. 19 regular meeting.

The board also approved a request for properties on South Ola Road and Singley Drive to be annexed into the city of Locust Grove.

A $59,692 expenditure for resurfacing of Kentwood Springs Drive was approved, as was $349,970 from the county’s capital improvement plan fund for roof replacement work at Heritage Senior Center and Hidden Valley Senior Center.
