Congratulations Justin Pritts! Cherokee County is lucky to have you serving as our Emergency Manager!

I had the honor of accepting the “business of the year” award from the Cherokee Chamber of Commerce last week! I am humbled beyond words that the board thought so highly of the Agency to present it!
Emergency Management works so hard, usually behind the scenes, so it truly means so much to be seen and appreciated!
Thank you to the Chamber and its Board of Directors!
