Madison County to form committee to plan 250th anniversary events and county branding
Summary
Supervisors agreed to form a committee to coordinate Madison County's participation in the nation's 250th anniversary, with Supervisor Nancy volunteering to lead and recruit tourism, historical-society and town partners to develop a skeletal plan and budget options.
The Board of Supervisors agreed to form a volunteer committee to plan Madison County's participation in the national 250th anniversary observances.
Supervisor Nancy (name used in the meeting) described ideas for county branding, banners, yard signs and coordinated events through July 4, and volunteers from the historical society, tourism office and local communities were discussed as potential participants. Board members suggested a small official steering group (two supervisors plus staff) that would recruit volunteers and return a skeletal plan and potential budget recommendations at a future meeting.
Staff noted county purchasing rules and tax-exempt status for some purchases; finance staff will be consulted as the committee develops cost estimates. The board encouraged early planning so events and printed materials can be ready for spring and July observances.
