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.
