Although they knew it was coming, Henderson County Commissioners Court members still knew they were looking at some big numbers when the looked at the packet of bills on the agenda for approval on Tuesday.
Of the $1,835,484.93 authorized for payment $1.5 million was for the new communications system being installed. Precinct 4 Commissioner Chuck McHam said this would have been the final of three payments on the system before the county decided to spend a little more to own its towers, rather than lease space on other towers. The three payments totaled $4.5 million.
Two weeks ago, Commissioners court agreed to a contract with L3 Harris Technologies, Tuesday, to spend an additional $1.8 million on top of the original $4.5 for the additional construction and improvements.
