Two significant public safety expenditures were approved by the Henry County Board of Commissioners at its Oct. 19 regular meeting.

The board awarded a $184,298 bid for demolition and construction work to the interior offices’ areas and restrooms of a county-owned building at 112 South Zack Hinton Parkway in McDonough for the future relocation of the Henry County Fire Department’s administration group.

Also approved was the $316,465.97 purchase of E-911 dispatch console furniture for the county’s emergency communications center to replace 10-year-old furniture that officials said is outdated, broken and beyond repair. That purchase will be made using E-911 fees.
