Supervisors discuss annex buildings and appear to be close to moving forward

County Administrator Adrain Lumpkin explains plan to board

Near the end of Wednesday’s meeting of the Pearl River County Board of Supervisors, County Administrator Adrain Lumpkin addressed the board about an approach he had prepared in regards to how the county could build an annex for county offices.

The board has been discussing the size, cost, location, and functionality of what to build without being able to reach a consensus where they could agree on a plan to move forward. After giving each board member a handout, Lumpkin told the Supervisors why he brought this approach to them for discussion.

“I want to look at this from a different angle today. In my opinion, we need to try to figure out what we are going to do and what we can agree on. I’ve listened to what everyone has said throughout this process, looked at it, and have tried to come up with a compromise and solution where we can get something in place and move forward,” Lumpkin stated.
