Residents of Halifax County are set to benefit from a new energy-saving program aimed at improving home efficiency and reducing utility costs. During the recent Halifax County Government meeting on April 7, 2025, officials announced that assessors have begun visiting homes to assist residents in applying for the program. This initiative not only provides application assistance on-site but also opens a dedicated center for residents to apply from Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 12 PM, provided they have the necessary documentation.

In addition to the center, the county will host an informational session in Middleton on Wednesday from 1 PM to 3 PM at the local library. This session will allow residents to learn more about the program and receive help with their applications. The program is designed to enhance energy efficiency in homes, ultimately leading to lower utility bills and improved living conditions for residents. However, officials clarified that the program does not cover bill payments at this time.

In another significant discussion, Kayla Taylor raised the need for establishing a Halifax County Parks and Recreation Department, which she previously brought to the attention of the county commissioners. This proposal aims to enhance recreational opportunities within the county, although further details on funding and implementation were not provided during the meeting.

The meeting underscored the county's commitment to improving residents' quality of life through practical programs and initiatives. As these efforts move forward, residents can look forward to tangible benefits in both energy efficiency and recreational opportunities in Halifax County.
