Tom Parker, who identified himself as with the "only economic development corporation," told the Young County Commissioners Court during the public comment period that work on the county's subcourthouse is progressing faster than expected and costing less than projected. "The project's ahead of schedule and, so far we're under budget," Parker said.
Parker said crews addressed new parking and handicap-access issues "last week and this week" and that planners are considering relocating the tag office within the subcourthouse to allow a drive-through. He said the relocation and related interior work would require reconfiguration and that he and the development group would be in contact with county officials about interior changes in a couple of weeks.
An attendee asked Parker to coordinate with "Harley" before returning to Albany; Parker replied that he would. The court convened at 09:30 a.m. with all five members present and was streaming the meeting on its YouTube channel; Parker's remarks occurred during the public comment portion of the agenda. No formal motions or votes concerning the subcourthouse were recorded in the transcript.
The update provided by Parker focused on schedule, budget and accessibility work; he did not specify the project's total contract amount, the funding source for the work, or a completion date. Those details were "not specified" in the public comment transcript and no formal action was taken during the meeting.
