County Commission meeting reset for Feb. 16

With snow falling Monday morning and forecasts calling for several inches of snow by evening, the Dyer County Commission postponed its regular monthly meeting.

The county legislative body, which was supposed to meet at 7 p.m. Monday, is now scheduled to meet at 6 p.m. Feb. 16 in the upstairs courtroom in the Dyer County Courthouse.
