The Craighead County Quorum Court has approved a solution to the county’s shrinking data capacity. Information Technology Director Erin Johnson informed justices last month the county’s storage of data has grown exponentially over the past several years, and that an increase was needed immediately to provide storage for the next five years. The Sun newspaper reports $78,000 worth of services will be provided by a vendor that has been approved by the state. Johnson says work on the storage will start immediately.
