During their last meeting of 2022, we sat down with The Putnam County Commissioners to look back at some of the big accomplishments of the past few years.  They are proud that they were able to maintain county operations during the pandemic and keep their residents working year-round.

The Putnam County Commissioners are taking the next steps toward the county's courthouse renovations. Tuesday, the commissioners and the the designers of the project, Technicon Design Group, met with contractors to answer any questions they might have. Bidding is under way for the project that looks to restore parts of the courthouse. Included in the plan is to restore the exterior stone walls, replace the roof, replace the east entrance entryway and move the ramp from the north side of the building to the east side. The commissioners are looking for bids that will be cost effective and not rushed.

Putnam County residents seeking to buy or renew their license plate tags will see a higher price tag starting next year.

The Putnam County Commissioners unanimously voted through two new license plate taxes that will add $10 to the price of plates. One tax will be shared by the county whatever municipality or township the plates are purchased in and another will go solely to the county to benefit the county engineer's office.
