Chair Don Mial said it best. This week, we reflected on the year's successes and challenges in the State of the County Address.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to hear updates from our Board and 12 municipalities on key initiatives and achievements. The Chair also highlighted parks, libraries, affordable housing, farmland preservation, funding gaps and more.
