HOUSTON COUNTY, Ga. Houston County reached a milestone this month. The county turns 200 years old on May 15.
Tuesday, the county held a kickoff event outside of Houston County Superior Court. There were nearly 200 people at the celebration, including county leaders and the public.
Jerome Stephens family has been there for 73 years. Great place to be. Great place for education, great place for anything anybody wants it to be. Great place to grow your child up, said Stephens.
The suit alleges Toms, a White elected official, has displayed racial animus towards minority-owned businesses.
Those minority-owned businesses are the ones who filed the suit, A2D and eCBI Warner.
They claim that Toms tried to steer business away from them once they installed a fiber optic network and towards Hargray Communications Group, Inc, which the suit says is a predominantly white-owned company.
The suit also alleges Toms instructed business owners, both established and new to the City, not to engage in any business transactions with A2D or eCBI.
They go on to claim the city s Director of Building and Transportation, Bill Mulkey, conspired with Toms to deny right-of-way permits for the two companies.
