The Williams County commissioners Tuesday held the first public hearing for the next round of funding for the Community Development Block Grant program.
The Williams County Department of Aging recently received a $174,215 grant, and Thursday the agency director discussed how it intends to spend the money.
Robert D. Moore, of Pioneer, has been hired as the new executive director of Hillside Country Living.
Williams County Commissioners made the announcement via a formal resolution at their meeting Monday. Moore, who goes by Darryll, begins Jan. 4, 2021, taking over for Donna Sprow. He will make $118,000 annually.
Commission President Lew Hilkert said Moore currently works in management at a nursing home and assisted living facility in Temperance, Michigan, that is similar in size to Hillside, a county-owned skilled care nursing home and assisted living facility located at 9876 County Road 16, Bryan.
Hilkert said Moore had been considered for the Hillside position when there was a previous opening, and though he wasnât chosen then, he âstood outâ based on his experience. When Sprow announced her intention to leave early last month, Hilkert said he approached him again, and Moore accepted.
