A $1.1 million contract for architectural design services regarding the proposed county-owned aquatic center was tabled by the Henry County Board of Commissioners at its Sept. 8 regular meeting. Board chair Carlotta Harrell made the move and requested that staff bring the item back before the board at its next meeting, which is scheduled for Sept. 21.

The aquatic center was part of a list of capital projects approved in the most recent SPLOST referendum, and a site on Jodeco Road was selected in March from five potential sites around the county, but the agreed-upon donation of that property has not been completed.
