Her departure marks the end of a significant chapter for the county courthouse.
In other business, the commissioners approved several key measures. A Tek84 full-body scanner was authorized for the sheriff's office to combat contraband. Additionally, funds were allocated for the demolition of a property at 1200 First St. in Ironton, with the county's land bank now managing the contract.
Further actions included the appointment of Ricky Cox to the Regional Planning Commission and the approval of a memorandum of understanding to address child abuse and neglect. The county also accepted a resolution making the Port Authority the lead for brownfields program applications.
