Harrison County Board honors Cindy Simmons for 30 years of dedicated service

The Harrison County Board of Supervisors convened on April 7, 2025, to address several key agenda items, beginning with a heartfelt recognition of Cindy Simmons upon her retirement after nearly 30 years of dedicated public service.

The meeting commenced with a resolution honoring Simmons, who has been a vital part of various departments, including Chancery, Personnel, Beautification, Road, and Sand Beach. Her unwavering commitment and significant contributions, particularly as the Director of Harrison County Beautification and Special Project Coordinator for the Road Department, were highlighted. The board expressed gratitude for her service to the residents of Harrison County and acknowledged her role as a cornerstone of the Sand Beach Department since 2011. The resolution concluded with warm wishes for her well-deserved retirement and recognition of her volunteer work.

Following the tribute, the board moved to amend the agenda to discuss an offer for the sale of the Deobreville Police Station. However, the discussion was briefly delayed as members awaited necessary documentation. Once the issue was clarified, the board proceeded to the next item on the agenda, recognizing Abby Darrow from Audubon Delta and Mississippi Fast Chris channels.

The meeting underscored the board's commitment to honoring long-serving employees while also addressing ongoing administrative matters. Further discussions and decisions are expected in subsequent meetings as the board continues its work for the community.
