TRANSPARENCY PORTAL: Clay County Bond Initiative
Clay County Progress - Bond Dollars at Work
Our commitment to fulfilling our obligations from the past while building for the future.
This past October the Clay County Commission passed its tax-free bond initiative to fund improvement projects across the county. Very quickly we have started projects that have been deferred for years and in some cases decades. We have begun vital safety upgrades and are starting plans for our growing community. Every step of the process is important, and we will keep our communities informed of progress as promised.
As we continue to make progress, you will see monthly report expenditures as part of the update process. As always, we strive to hire local so we encourage all Clay County businesses to keep an eye on the bid opportunities as projects and services are posted. You can register now to be notified of bid opportunities.
We appreciate your continued support as we work toward a safer, more enriched Clay County for all.
