As these photos show, the SPLOST team is on-site, checking progress and making sure the work meets established standards every step of the way.

🚨 IMPORTANT VOTING INFORMATION False information is circulating through text messages and social media claiming that poll workers may write on voters’ ballots, potentially causing them to be disqualified. This information is false and misleading. Poll workers do not write on voters’ ballots or mark their voting selections. A poll worker's role is to assist voters with the voting process and ensure proper procedures are followed. In Georgia, voters using in-person voting make their selections on a Ballot Marking Device, review their printed ballot, and personally insert it into the scanner to cast their vote. Please help stop the spread of misinformation by sharing accurate information. For official election information, visit mvp.sos.ga.gov.

Making Henry County more accessible, one improvement at a time. ♿️ Henry County Government is continuing its work to improve accessibility across County facilities and make sure residents and visitors can navigate, use and enjoy our public spaces. Since 2022, the County has conducted ADA studies at numerous facilities and completed improvements based on those findings. These efforts have included adding and relocating accessible parking spaces, improving access aisles and sidewalks, updating signage, adjusting restroom features, improving door accessibility and removing barriers that can make it more difficult for individuals with disabilities to access our facilities. The work is ongoing. ADA studies and improvements continue at County facilities, including Mt. Carmel Park, where efforts are currently in progress. Accessibility also extends to how residents interact with their County government. Henry County conducts quarterly reviews of its website to identify and correct issues and continues to improve how residents can submit ADA concerns. Our goal is simple: to help ensure that Henry County facilities and services are accessible to everyone. Learn more about the County’s ADA improvements and how to submit an ADA concern at henrycountyga.gov.
