The Jackson County Commission last met on Monday, April 8, 2024 at the Jackson County Courthouse. Commission Chairman Bill Nance said the commission needed to consider its current projects as it looks to new grant opportunities. During the work session, the commission discussed the county’s:
Safety Action Plan Project; The project is in development and will be funded through the SS4A program with planning and demonstration grants and implementation grants to construct projects to reduce and eliminate roadway fatalities and serious injuries. The plan needs to be submitted by the end of the month, and routes will need to be chosen by May 16.
Strip Paving Plan; Six miles of road every year, or a mile and a half for each commissioner, at a total of $200,000.

2024 Local Road Plan; Commission decided to begin making decisions for the 2024 road plan. The commission decided to postpone the resolution and final decisions on the plans. The commission also:
