“While we are sad to see Troy move on, we are incredibly grateful for his years of service and the positive impact he has had on Jackson County. On behalf of the entire county, I wish him all the best in this next phase of his career. Looking ahead, I will announce next steps regarding the posting and filling of the County Administrator position next week.
