Dawson County Board of Commissioners Chairman Billy Thurmond at last week’s work session said he will recommend the board vote to give $135,000 to the Development Authority of Dawson County so that it may continue to operate in a proposed agreement with the chamber of commerce. The proposition includes moving the authority under the same roof as the chamber and hiring a new economic development director to work under the supervision of chamber President Christie Haynes. The authority requested $175,00 in fuding during a Dec. 6 joint meeting with the BOC; $150,000 for operations and salary and $25,000 for renovating the basement of the chamber building.
