The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously at its Sept. 17 regular meeting to approve a resolution authorizing a contract for transportation services provided to the county’s elderly and disabled population for the current fiscal year.
Operating under the Georgia Department of Human Services Coordinated Transportation System, the service allows for transportation to people participating in programs offered by Senior Services, Developmental Disabilities, Henry County Counseling Centers, Department of Family and Children Services, and the Georgia Department of Labor. The state DHS contracts with Henry County Transit for the service, which is fee-based so no matching funds are required.
The county county could collect up to $590,362.24 during the contract period, according to officials.
