Additionally, City Manager Amy Wilson is leaving her position to become the executive director of the Harrison County Economic Development Corporation. Wilson’s last day is Jan. 22.
“I think we’re both comfortable that we’ve put everything in place,” Wilson said. “We have a lot of very qualified people that are moving up, that we’ve worked with and I’ve worked under that will be able to carry things through.”
DeMarco said he wanted to announce his intention early enough that if someone wanted to run for council to represent that ward of Shinnston, they have plenty of time to consider it.
“I didn’t want to wait until the last minute and have people scrambling around,” he said. “We want to make sure we have good people running, and hopefully we can continue the momentum we have going in Shinnston.”
