Board of Commissioners Meeting | October 20, 2026

At its October 20, 2026 regular meeting, the Henry County Board of Commissioners approved several procurement and capital-project items on the consent agenda. These included a sole-source purchase of animal-control containment boxes from Jackson Creek Manufacturing for $80,782.50; a proposal for the new Community Resource Center using Omni Partners contract 3341; roof and storefront replacement at that site by Patriots Construction Management for $354,718.77 under Omni contract R2343; and audiovisual systems for new probate courtrooms using a Georgia statewide contract and ARPA funds (the amount was unclear in the transcript). The board also awarded RFP 2710 to DH Pace Company, doing business as Overhead Door Company of Atlanta, for facility door inspections, maintenance, and repairs at $18,385, and approved a $700,000 contract with Bane Development Group LLC to renovate two athletic fields at Hidden Valley Park using Sourcewell EZ QC contract G043024BG and ARPA funding.

The board approved a FY2027 budget amendment that increased the operating budget by $56,744, bringing the stated total operating-budget increase to $718,804, to correct and reclassify deferred-revenue balances across several departments. It also accepted a roughly $1.2 million HUD community-project grant, with no local match, for resurfacing from Fairview Road to State Route 155, and approved a utility easement for Georgia Power to energize streetlights at the Henry Parkway/Henry roundabout. A proposed comprehensive-plan amendment and rezoning for commercial development at 3485 Highway 155 South was discussed but deferred to allow further work on a broader site plan and neighborhood concerns; no final zoning approval was reported. The meeting also included recognitions and a library proclamation, with no related procurement action identified.
