Re-drawing Oktibbeha plans Feb. 21

STARKVILLE - The Oktibbeha County (Miss.) Board of Supervisors will host a public hearing Feb. 21 to narrow the choice of two proposed plans for redistricting the county. The county’s 2020 Census population is 51,728, up about 4,000 since 2010. Although the population rose, each district did not evenly increase, thus the reason for having to redraw district lines. Golden Triangle Planning and Development District’s Geographic Information Systems director provided the board with multiple scenarios for redrawing the county lines. The board of supervisors chose two plans to present to the public for consideration. The public hearing is at 10 a.m. Feb. 21 in the Oktibbeha County chancery courtroom.
