Commissioners address storm damage and celebrate student track and field achievements

The Grayson County Commissioners Court held a regular meeting on May 21, 2025, where officials discussed recent storm damage and community achievements. The meeting highlighted the efforts of local emergency management teams in responding to severe weather conditions that affected the area.

Commissioner Wright expressed gratitude for the hard work of his team in managing the aftermath of two storms that passed through the region. He noted that while there were reports of downed trees, the damage was minimal compared to what could have occurred. He emphasized the importance of communication during such emergencies, urging residents to report any road obstructions directly to the county rather than relying on social media.

In addition to storm recovery efforts, the meeting celebrated the accomplishments of local sports teams. Commissioner Wright congratulated the girls' track and field team from TCS and the boys' track and field team from Tioga for their outstanding performances. He encouraged continued support for local athletes as they compete in upcoming state finals.

The meeting also served as an educational opportunity for students from Howe Middle School, who were welcomed by the commissioners. The officials aimed to provide insights into the various responsibilities of the county government beyond road maintenance.

Overall, the meeting underscored the county's commitment to community safety and support for local achievements, while also addressing the need for effective communication during emergencies.
