Fayette County will spend $30,000 for improved telephone service, but will save almost $64,000 a year in the process. The County Commission Wednesday approved the expense after learning that market pressures will make new technology available at reduced prices. With the new system in place, automated equipment will provide basic information to callers so that workers at the county Animal Shelter and in the Recreation Department can be involved in duties other than answering the phone during the day. More information on this story will be in The Citizen Wednesday, Jan. 12.
