According to Greenwood County Treasurer Steffanie Dorn, this achievement marks a significant milestone. “Receiving the Certificate of Achievement for the 33rd consecutive year is a remarkable milestone for Greenwood County,” she stated. “This achievement reflects the tireless efforts of our financial team over the years to maintain the highest standards of transparency and accountability. We are committed to managing the county’s finances with integrity and serving our community with excellence.”

The Greenwood County Council Chairman Chuck Moates also highlighted the importance of this recognition. “This award for the 33rd year in a row emphasizes our county’s long-standing commitment to fiscal responsibility and accurate reporting,” Moates said. “Our dedication to prudent financial management ensures that the resources of Greenwood County are handled with the utmost care and responsibility, which is something we take great pride in.”

This ongoing recognition underscores Greenwood County’s consistent pursuit of excellence in managing public funds and reporting with clarity and transparency. It serves as a testament to the county’s continuous dedication to financial integrity and responsibility.
