A good crowd of local dignitaries were present at ATU Ozark for a special announcement Tuesday afternoon. The announcement came from Representative Leslie Post that ATU Ozark was receiving a $15,000 check from the state's General Improvement Fund for help in kicking off Leadership Franklin County. Marci Gage was introduced as the director of the program that is used to help develop leaders and educate those involved on what Franklin County and the area have to offer.
