Mayor Jason Bailey opened the second Project Planning Meeting on Thursday, April 26th and summarized the County Union idea. This suggestion would consolidate much of the county services into the current Horace Maynard Middle School Building. Most of the properties that are currently rented for various county departments and some state or federal programs would also move to the middle school. The plan would save the county the cost of the rent.

On January 18, Mayor Bailey hosted the first of many Union County Project Planning Meetings. About half of the county commissioners and at least one school board member attended along with some elected officials and about a dozen members of the general public.
