Lynn Fitch, the state treasurer, and the Lauderdale County Board of Supervisors will host an event that allows residents to search for unclaimed property and funds from the state. 

Hundreds of Lauderdale County residents could have unclaimed funds, with many residents having numerous claims. To help residents, businesses and even Lauderdale County reconnect with property and funds, Fitch will hold an event from 3-6 p.m. Feb. 20 at the Lauderdale County Courthouse Annex.
