A packed house of more than 150 people gathered at the Pillars Event Center in Christian County Tuesday evening for the monthly Christian County Board meeting.
Following approval of the meeting minutes and discussion of the 2025 audit report, the board heard from Ted Chapman, who is organizing a local 9/11 remembrance event.
Under committee reports, the board approved Chillifest 2026 to be held on the courthouse grounds. Board members also approved a City of Assumption cleanup grant totaling nearly 19-hundred-25 dollars, along with a certificate of authority for Albert Niemerg related to highway business. Several other committee motions were also approved.
During new business, board members discussed a Tradition Energy release of utility historical information, a GFI Network assessment, and zoning regulations and procedures.
Following the regular meeting, the board opened the floor for public comment regarding a potentially proposed data center project in Christian County. No action was taken Tuesday night, but seven residents spoke in opposition to the proposed development.
The next Christian County Board meeting is scheduled for June 16th at 6 p.m.
