Newton Co. BOC Meeting Tonight at the Historic Covington Courthouse

The Newton County Board of Commissioners will be meeting this evening, Tuesday January 21, for their regularly scheduled board meeting. They meet at the Historic Courthouse on the Covington Square (1124 Clark St. Covington, GA 30014) at 7PM. You can call the BOC Clerk, Jackie Smith, at 678.625.1202 to get an agenda and any other pertinent information.

Part of the NCLA's main strategy is trying to remain engaged with our local politicians and acting as local activists and taxpayer advocates. The more of us who attend these meetings, the better. Hope some of you can make it.
