GRAYSON COUNTY, Tex. -- A joint effort with the health department and a website corporation could turn into big money for Grayson County.

A company called DSB Worldwide works with Grayson County to allow people to get a food handling license online. That license is required if you work in the food industry.

The pilot program that started in Grayson County could now go statewide or possibly even nationwide, with Grayson County getting a cut of the profit.

"They see the benefit, obviously, of saving other counties money, saving other cities and entities money. Grayson County gets five percent of whatever they are charging these other entities," Grayson County Judge Drue Bynum says.

That money would go to the county commissioners’ general fund and could be ready to go for other areas in the next couple of weeks.
