Peach County: Your Community, Your Commission, Your Voice
Imagine a local government that's not just about policy, but about people. That's Peach County. Our five-person elected commission is your team, dedicated to delivering essential services and shaping a thriving community.
Think of them as your community architects, setting the course, crafting the budget, and making decisions that impact your daily life, from zoning to spending. They're your voice, ensuring Peach County evolves in a way that reflects your values.
Here's how it works: four districts, four commissioners, and one at-large seat, all elected by you. It's a system designed for representation and accountability. Every four years, we refresh our team, ensuring fresh perspectives and a commitment to progress.
Want to see democracy in action? Join us at our monthly meetings, held on the second Tuesday at 6 PM in the Peach County Commission office. We also hold work sessions and public hearings, so you can stay informed and engaged.
