The Cherokee County Commission met on Monday, March 11 at 9 a.m. for the regularly scheduled planning session.
During this planning session Corey Chambers, county engineer, introduced David Savage of Pioneer Green Energy and Evan Morgan of Constantine Engineering who discussed with the commissioners the possibility of doing ecological and artifact studies along the right of way for the windmill project.
Also with them was Bill Jones, a local resident who serves the project as a consultant. The commission will revisit this at a subsequent meeting as more information becomes available.
Eric Peck also met with the Commissioners to discuss the construction of a website for the county; no action was taken on this matter.
Harley Laney, Cherokee County Detention Center administrator, addressed commissioners asking them to consider a new phone system for the jail.
According to Laney, the company they have phones with is no longer in business and they can no longer get repairs and things they may need in the future.
