New audio/visual system on the way for district courtroom

Freestone County Commissioners took another step toward purchasing a new audio/visual system for the district courtroom so they can finally solve the problem of people not being able to hear the proceedings.

The court took this step at their Wednesday, May 1, meeting, when they also heard a report on the sale of foreclosed properties; went through training in dealing with problem employees; and made other decisions regarding the county’s finances and well-being.

As for the audio/visual system, the court accepted a bid of $57,714 from JAVS for a new system.
