“I am honored to receive this award and so proud of my team and the work we are doing for Beaufort County,” said Treasurer Walls. “Through innovative thinking, we have earned a significant amount of money—the total earnings for fiscal year 2019 were a record breaking $4.7 million. That hopefully, will equate to fewer dollars coming out of the pockets of our taxpayers.”
