Williamson County Board Weighs Future of Vehicle Leases

Pandemic-era leases on county vehicles are nearing their end

By Verna Slate, Williamson County Bureau

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Ill. — Williamson County commissioners are taking a fresh look at whether leasing county vehicles remains the best financial option, according to the Southern Illinoisan.

The review comes as the first leases the county signed during the COVID-19 pandemic near their expiration.

That's the whole of it, for now. No meeting date, no vote, no dollar figures, no options have been made public. The American Times will file a fuller account when the county board puts numbers on the table.
