  • FDs to vie for $8k grant

    Rather than the $5 deed fee increase they had requested, fire departments in Henry County will split about $16,000 annually.

    In April, the court considered the request along with three scenarios presented by Judge-Executive John Logan Brent. Among those proposals was an option that would create two $8,000 grants.
