Future of Fort White in Columbia County

Fort White in Columbia County is a small town with about 700- residents. Earlier this week they held a meeting regarding the potential disbandment of the town.

Many took the stand to voice their disapproval of the idea, and even Mayor George Thomas opposed the idea in a heated exchange with other members of the council.

WUFT reporter Jackson McGuire attended the meeting and has been following the future possibilities of Fort White.

Jackson is a reporter for WUFT News who can be reached by calling 352-392-6397 or emailing news@wuft.org.
