Written by Alamance Webmaster on . Posted in County Attorney, County Manager, County News, General News, Performance Based Budgeting.

Alamance County is starting a series of articles and videos called Department Spotlight. These are about how our various departments are successfully providing services for the people of Alamance County according to the monthly performance based budgeting reports.

These may be departments you interact with on a regular basis. They may also be departments that keep the county operating, but don’t interact with the public. They are all necessary parts of a county government and are staffed by good people who work hard to help the county meet its goals of the best possible service for our citizens.

This month, we begin with our County Attorney’s office.
