January 2009

As 2009 came to an end, the Union County Board of Commissioners continued to focus on an issue which will be a focal point in 2010.

The future of the Union County Courthouse in Jonesboro was on the agenda when the commissioners met Monday afternoon, Dec. 21. The meeting was at the courthouse.

The commissioners will be pushing hard in coming weeks to gain support for passage of a sales tax referendum which will be on the ballot in the February 2010 Union County primary election.

Union County area public schools plan to present holiday programs.

Here's a look at the schedule:

Lick Creek School: 7 p.m. Monday, Dec. 14.

Cobden Junior-Senior High School: 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 13.

Cobden Elementary School: 12:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 18.
