State of the district meeting held at the Old Alvaton High School

A state of the district meeting was held tonight in District 6 at the Old Alvaton High School.

The meeting has been hosted for the past seven years by Sheriff Brett Hightower and District 6 Magistrate Ron Cummings.

Officials say the event gives residents a chance to hear what the local government is working on  and to ask questions directly.

Discussion included topics like the county budget, funding sources, and future plans.

Sheriff Hightower also shared what he believes was accomplished during the meeting.

“I mean, about the jails, about the sheriff’s office, about the road department, about planning and zoning, some about the car system,” said Sheriff Hightower.

There’s just a lot of information that was shared tonight. I think everybody who would if you asked and everybody would say they took away something,” Hightower added.

Magistrate Cummings also talked about what he feels is the motivation from the Bowling Green local government.

“It’s never wrong to do the right thing. I think the existing leadership has that mentality,” said Cummings.

“We all come back together and collaborate to where we can actually do what’s good and to help move Warren County forward,” he added. 

Both Sheriff Hightower and Magistrate Cummings also mentioned they feel like continuing to have state of the district meetings in the future are essential to communicating to the community.
