The Taylor County Clerk’s Office, in conjunction with the Taylor County Commission, is now a member of Project Mountaineer.
Project Mountaineer brings transparency and accessibility to the citizens of Taylor County, displaying financial transactions and accounting for the spending of taxpayer dollars in a searchable online database. Software upgrades were made within the Taylor County Clerk’s office that will help Taylor County be a pioneer of future financial reporting and transparency.
Project Mountaineer was initiated by the West Virginia State Auditor’s Office under the direction of J.B. McCuskey. This program was created to enhance the local government’s financial reporting, provide robust fiscal distress monitoring, potentially decrease audit costs, and improve interactions with local government constituents.
