WHEELING Ohio County commissioners acted Tuesday to make changes to the County Development Authority, commending some for their service and appointing others in their place.
Commissioners removed former Wheeling Mayor Andy McKenzie from the board, and he will be replaced by current Mayor Glenn Elliott.
“(McKenzie) has been a member of the board for a long time, and I congratulate him for his service,” said Commissioner Randy Wharton, who also serves as OCDA president.
Commissioners next accepted resignations from the OCDA board by former Commissioner Tim McCormick and former County Administrator Greg Stewart, who has been hired by the OCDA to manage The Highlands property.

WHEELING Ohio County commissioners are set next week to discuss appointments to and removals from the Ohio County Development Authority board of directors. Yet, they say, there won’t be any major changes in membership.
“Mass changes aren’t going to occur,” said Commissioner Randy Wharton, who also serves as OCDA president. “My position is no, and I wouldn’t be in favor of that.
“I’m sure the other two commissioners aren’t in favor of that either.”
Commissioner Don Nickerson said some people will be removed from the board, which currently has 14 unpaid volunteer members. State statutes stipulate the board must have at least 12 members, and no more than 21 members, he said.
