First Meeting
County commission and others met last week for our
first redistricting meeting. Even though we have the final numbers on
the county population, we still don't have the software to actually
start making changes. The good news is, there won't be any need for any radical changes in the current district lines. While our population has increased by more than sixth-five hundred, the growth has been well distributed across all districts. We may have to tweak the lines here and there, but nothing serious. We did vote to keep seven districts but waited to vote on the number of commissioners. Now that we have the final numbers, we can expect that the number of commissioners will remain at ten. The committee will meet again in September.
2010 population- 48,556
2020 population-54,886
