Lawrence County Commissioners will meet on Monday, ahead of Election Day

BEDFORD The Lawrence County Commissioners have announced a change to their regular meeting schedule for the upcoming week. The board will now convene on Monday, May 4, rather than their typical Tuesday slot.

The meeting is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. and will be held in the Commissioners’ Room at the Lawrence County Courthouse in downtown Bedford.
