ELKINS Newly elected Mayor Jerry Marco has created a new task force to deal with drug addiction and homelessness in the City of Elkins.
The Addiction and Homeless Resources Task Force will include one Elkins City Council member, Elkins Police Chief Travis Bennett and Randolph County Sheriff Rob Elbon. The Task Force will also include at least four citizen members.
Marco said Task Force members will “seek and share information about available strategies and resources, as well as identifying and advocating for needed new resources” in the areas of “addiction and homelessness prevention and response,” according to a city press release, which also states, “This body will also look for opportunities to reduce duplication of efforts.”
