Elbert County Community and Development Services department has
expanded their responsibilities and services.
During the Aug. 12 Elbert board of County Commissioners meeting
the board approved the department’s expansion to include an office
of economic development under the leadership skills of Richard
Miller, director of community and development services.
Commissioner Del Schwab said he believes the office will allow
citizens voice concerns regarding economic development in Elbert
County to Miller who will then make recommendations to the
board.
“This office allows the county to be in contact with the state
economic development office,” Schwab said.
Commissioners Hope Goetz and John Shipper agreed with Schwab on
the decision.
“This is long overdue and we need to get something moving in
that direction,” Goetz said.
