Statement just released  from the Elmore County Commission:

The Elmore County Commission has decided to close County Offices tomorrow, (Wednesday, January 17, 2018 ) due to the extended and delayed impact of the winter weather event. Snowfall is expected throughout the early morning hours now which has more of a potential to adversely impact Wednesday’s travel conditions. With below freezing temperatures anticipated throughout almost all of Wednesday, travel conditions are not expected to improve. The County Commission urges all citizens to utilize extreme caution if travel is absolutely necessary.

The Elmore County Commission is closing County Offices at 2 pm today, (Tuesday, January 16, 2018 ) due to the winter weather.

The Elmore County Commission is closing the offices early to enable our employees and the public whom we serve to be off the roads before dark.

The Commission also encourages residents to use extreme caution if travel is a necessity, but recommends staying off the roads if possible.
