A Conversation on Columbia County’s Growth & Future

What does it mean to lead a community you’ve called home for most of your life? In part one of this four-part series featuring community leaders, John Cates welcomes Alex Griffin and Allison Couch, both of whom are candidates for seats on the Columbia County Commission, to discuss where Columbia County has been, where it is today, and where they believe it can go from here.

The conversation covers responsible growth, public safety, transportation, affordable housing, economic development and the importance of working together across the region, while also touching on the personal experiences and family values that have shaped their approach to leadership.
