Local business backs shop at home plan with $16000 bonuses
A Brewton Alabama front page story notes a local business gave $16000 in employee bonuses with two conditions: 15 percent donated to a chosen charity and the funds spent locally. The owner distributed the money one $2 bill at a time to show it circulating through the community. The piece urges supporting local shops to sustain tax revenue, parks, streets, and civic groups, arguing bigger isn’t always better for small towns.

Cameron zoning changes invite citizen input and hearings
Cameron plans to rewrite its Zoning Ordinance with input from residents. Planning and Zoning Commission chair Jason Dohnalik and members welcome verbal or written comments as public hearings will be held after a draft is created. The piece argues for a manufactured housing zone and proper zoning of areas like Sunset Circle to avoid lending issues and improper classifications. It notes current limits on HUD code homes and seeks more zones for agriculture and mixed-use housing, plus public access to the ordinance online and at City Hall.

Milam County faces revenue pressure amid national downturn
An analysis of Milam County finances notes a 30.75 percent drop in sales tax collections for the current reporting period and a 20.75 percent decline for the year. The 2009 projection fell short of the 2008 budget, while an overpayment issue of 158,437 dollars will be recovered via reduced state payments. The county ends 2008 with a surplus but anticipates future challenges as the Sandown Power Plant project payroll ends by August and budget planners map 2010.
