After several years of requesting that Long County residents properly address their homes, the Long County Commission is determined to make sure their efforts haven’t been an exercise in futility.The board voted unanimously Tuesday to adopt the 911 Addressing Ordinance, mandating that everyone who lives in the county apply reflective numbers or characters on a contrasting background at their homes and businesses. According to the ordinance, anyone who is not in compliance will be fined up to $100. If anyone removes, alters or defaces any properly posted address, they’ll face fines up to $1,000.
