Not a Lot to Chew On

Last night I attended the joint meeting of the Buckhannon city council and the Upshur County commission. These joint meetings take place about once per quarter in months with five Thursday's. There was not a lot of substance in the agenda items with updates on the armory complex, 911 center, area addressing and combining the city and county primary election dates. Combining election dates is a good idea and long overdue.

At the end of the meeting there was a heartfelt tribute to retiring county commissioner Eugene Suder. Eugene has served the community in both city and county government.

The joint city/county meeting is an outward demonstration that both our governments do work together on common items. As a potential council member, I have some additional ideas where the county and city can share resources and build synergy. More to come.

  1. I'm sure you meant the Upshur County Wellness Complex. There was no discussion about the Armory complex.
