Jefferson County Clerk's Office “Sixty Years Project” Wins National Achievement Award
The Jefferson County Clerk's Office has proudly received a 2025 Achievement Award from the National Association of Counties (NACo). This prestigious award recognizes innovative and effective county government programs that enhance services for residents.
At the end of May, the Jefferson County Clerk's Office unveiled a new tool for searching land records. In alignment with House Bill 1, all counties must digitize records dating back to 1966. The “Sixty Years Project” is a collaborative effort between the Jefferson County Clerk's Office and ArcaSearch, a leading technology and services company specializing in digital archiving.
“As the Clerk of Jefferson County, my goal is to deliver VIP service to all our customers. VIP embodies Value, Integrity, and Performance. I am thrilled that the National Association of Counties acknowledges the importance of the 'Sixty Years Project' and has awarded it with the Achievement Award!” stated Jefferson County Clerk Bobbie Holsclaw.
Each year, NACo's Achievement Awards recognize outstanding programming in 18 categories aligned with the vast, comprehensive services counties provide. The categories include children and youth, criminal justice and public safety, libraries, management, information technology, health, civic engagement, and more. Launched in 1970, the program is designed to celebrate innovation in county government. Each nominated program is judged on its own merits and not against other applications.
“The Achievement Awards shine a spotlight on the hard work and innovation happening in county governments across the nation,” said NACo President James Gore. “This year's winners highlight the dedication and creativity of county leaders and our teams to building thriving communities and providing the best possible services to our residents.”
