On September 24th, the Lawrence County Commissioners convened to discuss and make significant progress on two pivotal initiatives: the establishment of a new Health Department and the development of the West Gaines School Community Center. In a unanimous vote, the Commission awarded ownership of the West Gaines School site to the West Gaines School Community Center, Inc., a nonprofit organization comprised of alumni, family members, and supporters of the school. This decision marks a crucial step in preserving the legacy of the school while fostering community engagement.
Additionally, during the same meeting, the commissioners took another important step by approving the selection of World Architects and Engineers to spearhead the design of the new Health Department. This decision reflects the Commission’s commitment to enhancing public health facilities in the region, ensuring that the community has access to modern and efficient healthcare services. Together, these actions represent a forward-looking approach to community development and health improvement in Lawrence County.
