The Screven County Board of Commissioners on May 10 unanimously approved two conditional-use applications recommended by the county Planning & Zoning Board.

Warren moved to accept the Planning & Zoning recommendation to approve the conditional use; Commissioner Mike Dixon seconded and the motion carried by unanimous vote.
