Athens County Benefits From New Sales Tax Plan
Athens County Auditor Ralph Elliott and staff study the new sales tax distribution formula to determine state aid shares for the county and subdivisions.

The plan aims to use available funds to pay old debts and stabilize county finances, with full figures pending.
