Residents expressed significant frustration over communication issues with county officials during a recent government meeting. A local homeowner, who has lived in the area for 30 years, raised concerns about flooding problems exacerbated by a nearby subdivision. The homeowner reported that despite numerous attempts to reach out to county representatives, including leaving messages, they received no response.

The resident highlighted that their property and those of their neighbors, all long-term residents, have never experienced flooding issues until now. With a storm approaching, the urgency for a resolution was emphasized. The homeowner noted that county vehicles have been seen near their property, but when approached, the drivers reportedly sped away, furthering the sense of neglect.

Commissioner Gray acknowledged the homeowner's concerns and attempted to clarify the communication breakdown, stating that calls are recorded and expressing a willingness to investigate the matter further. He suggested that the homeowner meet with him and other county staff after the meeting to discuss potential solutions.

The meeting concluded with a commitment from county officials to address the flooding issue and improve communication with residents, reflecting a growing need for responsiveness in local governance.
