Town Halls

Jefferson County utilizes Telephone Town Halls as a tool to provide updates, and to interact with community members regarding important county business. This popular way to reach out has helped the commissioners stay in touch with thousands of Jefferson County residents; provide a platform for asking questions of the board; and, provide feedback to the commissioners on issues facing the county.
