Courthouse Host to Our Military and State Associations
Congratulations to our Russell County Administrator
LeAnn Horne ~ 10 Years of Service
General Michael Ferriter, Commander of Fort Benning, and his spouse, Margaret, were among the entourage to visit the Russell County Courthouse, as were the general’s chief of staff and chain of command.
Ferriter took command of the base in June this year. Russell County has been named the “County of Forts” at the state historical level and continues to embrace military families coming home, predominately in
Fort Mitchell and the
West Gate area of Fort Benning, Ala.
Phenix City Mayor Sonny Coulter with Fort Benning Commanding General Michael Ferriter, Margaret Ferriter and 2009 Russell County Chairman Mervin Dudley.
County Administrator LeAnn Horne spoke to the gathering about Russell County's exstensive military history.
Russell County Courthouse Chambers hosted representatives from 10 Alabama counties in October, while the atrium served as both reception line and buffet setting for the evening’s catered meal. The Association of County Commissioners of Alabama enjoyed the facility for a meeting to discuss the year ahead. Russell County was well represented as all commissioners attended. RC Administrator LeAnn Horne is the ACCA representative for District 8. Workshops and seminars have also been held at the Courthouse through the fall season.
