Stegall gives overview “State of the County”
By Susi Halley 

Program Chair Christina Chalmers recently hosted Darke County Commissioner Mike Stegall who spoke on the “State of the County.”  Darke County is ranked 5th in the country and 1st in the Midwest in jobs.  

In the last two years the county has gotten a lot done and saved money: roof repair on the Courthouse; a new boiler at the Garst Building; work on the Sheriff's building and three new cars; work on the Commissioners Building on the roof and gutters.  

For 2013 remodeling the third floor of the Courthouse and new roofs at the fairgrounds.  There were three people who retired and three new hires for the Animal Shelter, the EMA Director, and maintenance.  The economy and industry doing well and unemployment is down.  The Solid Waste State Convention will be held in Greenville this July. There were nine graduates of the first Workforce Development Course.  Mike's goals are to keep creating jobs and to stay the course.
