Jackson County, MS will save $290,000 over three years by eliminating telephone lines, cashing in on discounts offered by telephone companies, modifying calling plans and streamlining its communications systems.

The audit by consultants with RMH Enterprises that made this possible cost the county $18,000. 

The consultants suggested the county use the savings to modernize and centralize its communications systems. What county leaders had agreed to do was to see what the consultants could save the county now as opposed to a long-range plan. County Administrator Alan Sudduth said. “See how that goes before considering the rest.”
