Ferry County's conservation district has outlined its 2025 project goals for land and water stewardship, focusing on sustainable resource management across the county.
The county has launched a new website designed to streamline access to local government information, with the site officially going live on Monday, Sept. 1. This update aims to improve transparency and make it easier for residents to find key services and updates.
Starting Sept. 1, the county will also implement a 32-hour work week trial for its staff. The trial, which will run for six months, is intended to assess whether reduced hours can improve employee well-being without compromising service delivery.
The county has not yet provided specific details on how the work week trial will be structured or which departments will participate. However, county officials have stated that the initiative aligns with broader efforts to modernize operations and better serve the community.
Residents are encouraged to visit the new website at ferrycountywa.gov to access updated information on county services, upcoming events, and important announcements. The website also includes a feedback form for residents to share their thoughts on the new system.
What to watch next: The success of the 32-hour work week trial will be closely monitored, with potential adjustments based on staff and resident feedback. The county may also expand the website's features based on user input in the coming months.
