The following was released Friday afternoon by Fulton County Commissioners in response to an ABC57 news article posted on February 4 and what the release calls improper use of county website logo.

Statement from the Fulton County Board of Commissioners

The Fulton County Board of Commissioners wants to clarify that Fulton County Government has not approved or endorsed the proposals, timelines, agreements, or financial commitments shown in the materials being presented or displayed on the website: fultoncountypartnership.com, including the slides presented at the Akron Community Building this week or next.

These materials represent proposals from a private entity only. Any official County action can occur solely through formal public process and approval by the appropriate governing bodies, and no such action has taken place.

The County encourages the public to rely on official County communications for accurate information regarding County decisions.

This letter carries the signatures of Fulton County Commissioners Dave Sommers, Rick Ranstead and Bryan Lewis.
