Welcome to Month Two of Thriving Together from the County Manager

Welcome to the second edition of our monthly newsletter, Thriving Together. This newsletter is one of the many ways we’re working to keep you informed about your County Government — from the actions of the Board of Commissioners to the services and programs that help improve daily life in our growing community.

Each month, you’ll find summaries of recent Commissioner meetings, deeper dives into many Commissioner actions, features about County departments and their services, stories about our employees and a calendar of upcoming County events. Our goal is simple: to make it easier for you to stay connected with the work being done on behalf of you and your neighbors.

We’re grateful for your interest in your local government and for taking the time to stay informed about the work that shapes Johnston County’s future. Thank you for reading and for being a part of this newsletter.

Rick Hester

Johnston County Manager
