While reviewing major stories in county government during 2007, Hopkins County Judge Cletis Millsap makes it clear he feels renovating the Fidelity Express building downtown is the way to go to solve future county office space needs. Several weeks ago, District Judge Robert Newsom had suggested that the county build a new facility adjacent to the current County Jail. Judge Millsap says the cost of new construction will be too high.
During his review, the judge was pleased the Commissioners Court was able to keep the tax rate the same when this fiscal year’s budget was adopted. Judge Millsap says the county was helped by increased property values and also several grants. The judge notes that the Intermodal Facility that opened in 2007 utilized grant funds. Judge Millsap says FEMA grant funds were also secured after heavy rains did damage to county roads and infrastructure.
