The Screven County Board of Commissioners voted Sept. 13 to adopt the 2022 county tax levy and to approve several SPLOST-funded equipment purchases, including a $209,267 CAT excavator.
Commissioner J.C. Warren moved to adopt the county millage rate and the accompanying resolution setting the 2022 tax levy; Commissioner Rosa Romeo seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

Commissioner Mike Dixon moved to purchase a CAT excavator for $209,267 using SPLOST funds; Commissioner Warren seconded and the motion passed unanimously. On a separate motion, Commissioner Allison Willis moved and Commissioner Romeo seconded the purchase of two air compressors from Ingersoll Rand; that motion also passed unanimously.
