Welcome to the official website of
the
Henry County Government
From the Desk of Brent Greer, County Mayor:
The Henry County Budget Committee will begin budget deliberations in
mid-April. All departments and constitutional offices are requested to
turn in their budget requests in early April.
The Budget Committee will meet with the officials and department heads
to discuss their requests. All of these meetings will be open to the
public.
Initial architectural drawings have been submitted to Sheriff Belew
concerning the jail renovation project. This project will potentially
increase inmate capacity by 64 beds.
The County is still waiting for final clearance from the State of
Tennessee and the Federal Government to begin work on the emergency
service complex at Paris Landing State Park. We hope to begin the
project in the summer of 2008.
Rural Development has given approval for their loan for Skykits, Inc.
The company plans to build an airplane assembly operation at the Henry
County Airport. The company projects to have approximately 40 employees
by the end of 2009. In addition, the Henry County Airport has received
notification that it will receive two grants in the approximate amount
of $860,000.00 to construct a secondary taxiway and apron to expand the
facilities at the airport.
The Grove renovation project continues to draw considerable discussion.
The present plans continue to call for a referendum in August to see if
the public wishes to increase the local option sales tax by ˝ cent to
fund the project.
The Paris-Henry County Alliance is presently working with several
projects at the Paris Industrial Park. One company is in serious
negotiations for the “spec” building. If the negotiations are
successful, the additional jobs will be a welcome relief to our present
unemployment figures. Also, we continue to work closely with Champion
Homes to encourage them to rebuild their facility in Henry. They are
also considering a temporary or permanent relocation to a building in
Dresden.
We welcome your comments on any matter.
