Have You Signed Up to Receive the Ada County Newsletter?

County Government in Idaho is different than state government or city government, but often people are unsure as to what services, programs and initiatives originate at the county level. That’s why each month we provide a synopsis of what’s happening in county government in the Ada County newsletter. This month we have stories about the January 9th Swearing In Ceremony of newly elected Ada County Office Holders, as well as feature stories from Parks & Waterways, Ada County Paramedics and so much more.
