A committee newly appointed by the board of commissioners met Friday morning under the notion that some growth is good, but planned growth is better. The long range planning committee, made up of nine Dawson County citizens, met to discuss how they see the committee meetings working and what topics will dominate the discussion moving forward. Present at the inaugural meeting were co-chair Terri Tragesser and members Mandy Power, Tim Costley, Jane Graves, Hugh Stowers and Ronnie Adkins.
