PARKERSBURG The Wood County Commission approved new appointments and hirings, while expressing concerns on the states proposed elimination of personal property tax during its Thursday morning meeting.
Commissioners approved the nomination of Jessica Emrick, Chris Swarr, Gary Thompson, Andrew Borkowski and Bob Buchanan to the Wood County Parks and Recreation Commission at Mountwood Park.
Commission President Blair Couch said Emrick will be a new addition to the commission, replacing Patsy Hardy, who resigned a year ago.
“Jessica looks to be a good addition to the board. She grew up in Waverly and remembers fishing there as a young child, and uses the park pretty substantially,” Couch said.
