Shawnda Combs Gives Economic Development Update. Preble County General Health District seeking levy renewal.

 

This is a little off topic but I would like to thank the viewers and listeners of this website for pushing use up over 300% from January of 2010. The CFPC site set an all time monthly record for use with 9.82 gig in January 2011. I think that is a pretty amazing number for a website devoted to Preble County Commission meeting audio. For perspective in 2009 the grand total for the whole year was 17.81 gig.  

The Preble County Commissioner agenda data base is now at 789 pages and grows every week. It makes a great reference/search tool for county issues and people going back to October of 2005. When combined with the CFPC Archive it becomes even easier to find information.
