By Doug Sanders Jr.

The Pickens County Commission road departments are making a smooth transition to
the unit system so far, it was reported at the Aug. 23 meeting.
County Engineer Sky Hallmon reported that after one week, the change to the unit
system had experienced
“nothing negative” so far and the employees had been receptive.
Commission Chairwoman Susan Milner reminded the public that if they have any
complaints about their roads, they should be directed to the County Engineer
’s Office at 367-2030.
Hallmon added he had some positive comments about the Commission’s decision to switch from a district system to a unit system, and he said he
welcomed those as well as any complaints.
