The Pickens County Board of Commissioners Work Session on March 4, 2024, highlighted significant progress in the county's infrastructure projects, particularly in the GPS mapping of utility meters. Over the past 50 days, crews have successfully located and verified 3,700 meters, a task that involves meticulous physical checks at each site. This effort is crucial as it lays the groundwork for ongoing updates and improvements in the county's utility management.
Mark, a key contributor to the project, expressed gratitude for the support received from the county, noting that the work has been more manageable than anticipated due to the resources provided. He emphasized the importance of including private roads in future mapping efforts, which could enhance the accuracy of the county's infrastructure data.
In addition to infrastructure updates, the meeting also celebrated local achievements in sports, with congratulations extended to the Pickens County Dragons and Dragonettes for their impressive performance in reaching the Sweet 16.
Looking ahead, the next regular meeting is scheduled for March 18, 2024, where further discussions on county developments are expected. The ongoing efforts in utility mapping and community engagement reflect the county's commitment to improving services and fostering local pride.
