The art work of an Obion County Central student has been selected as the new county seal.
Following a contest featuring artwork provided by multiple area students, an online vote overwhelmingly selected the work of Jose Ramirez, a junior at Obion Central.
On Monday, the full County Commission also voted unanimously to accept the new seal, which is the first update in 40 years.
