Gordon County 911 Telecommunicators Recognized
Four Gordon County 911 telecommunicators were honored Tuesday night during the Gordon County Board of Commissioners meeting for their quick response during a critical emergency earlier this month.
On Feb. 2, just before 7 p.m., dispatchers received a report of a motor vehicle accident with unknown injuries on an active railroad track. From the initial call to stopping the train took approximately five minutes, with the entire call lasting just under seven minutes.
Recognized for their efforts were Cpl. Jalynn Wyatt, Sgt. Sami Jones, Telecommunications Officer Anna Evans, and Telecommunications Officer Kaitlyn Yancey. The team swiftly coordinated with multiple agencies to prevent further tragedy.

However, commissioners voted 4-1 against a rezoning request on Folsom Road. The request sought to change property from Agricultural to Crossroads Commercial to add a driveway for a previously approved storage building operation.
