The Lawrence County Board met in regular monthly session at the county courthouse Wednesday afternoon. They were given an update by Chairman Jim Brewer on the county efforts in the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Brewer says they are continuing to work with Health Department Administrator Amy Marley and Emergency Management Agency Director Janelle Adams. He praised the duo for their tireless work in preparing documentation for FEMA and implementing the various state and federal guidelines given the county. The board also during the meeting approved the reappointment of Terry Andrews to the Bridgeport Fire District for a three year term and renewed the 3 year contract with Pictometry International for around $92,000. The company is involved with the updating of assessable properties within the county. Funds for the extension will come from the fees collected by the county assessors office.
