Commissioners report road work, senior center ribbon cutting and POW/MIA recognition plans

County commissioners and engineering staff gave routine updates on road and bridge work and announced upcoming community events. Commissioner Samet reported progress on the Sharp Road bridge foundation and work on Bethel Road; he asked for patience given recent rain. Commissioner Turner said work on Love Branch (referred to in the transcript as "Love Branch Bridal") is finishing and discussed planning for a future roundabout at East Limestone; Commissioner Gavin (recorded in the transcript as giving road updates) described work on Weaver Road and a cross drain near Lucy's Branch and noted a road closure. Commissioner Townsend reported ongoing bush hogging and roadside spraying in District 4 and reminded residents to display no-spray signs to prevent unintended herbicide application. The county engineer and staff also noted a paving project on Friend Road believed to start next week, weather permitting. Separately, the commission announced a POW/MIA recognition event scheduled for Sept. 19 at 5 p.m. at the courthouse and a ribbon-cutting for the Elkmont Senior Center and the Brady Jordan Trail scheduled Thursday the 7th at 10:30 a.m. The transcript records these announcements but does not include full event programs or organizing contacts. No formal votes were taken on these items; they were presented as commissioner reports and other business.
