STEP #1: BE PRESENT

Being present and becoming knowledgeable about our government is the first step toward making a real impact in our community. When we take the time to learn how local decisions are made and who represents us, we empower ourselves to ask questions, voice our concerns, and advocate for positive change.

At SCOPE, we believe that informed citizens are the foundation of a strong democracy. Let’s take that first step together—get involved, stay informed, and help shape the future of Floyd County!

The Floyd County Board of Commissioners conduct official business meetings the second Tuesday and the fourth Tuesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. A caucus session is held prior to the business meetings at 4:00 p.m. These meetings are held on the second floor of the Administration Building, 12 East 4th Avenue, in the Commissioners Meeting Room, Suite 206.

We will be posting meeting events on this page!
