The mission of this subcommittee is to fulfill a new duty added by the passage of recent legislation, SB 110, regarding e-government for counties, including a plan for streaming of all county business on line, over the next 2 years. The objective would be to draw up a plan to achieve this goal WITHOUT costing counties any additional money. I will keep you posted as this committee meets

Nearly thirty years ago, the leaders of Lewis County began planning to expand our facilities to meet the growing needs of government. They diligently started saving for an expansion. Today we are celebrating the nearly three decades of fiscal stewardship and management that have made the Lewis County Judicial Annex a reality.
