ELKINS, WV (LOOTPRESS) – The City of Elkins invites civic-minded citizens to actively participate in shaping the city’s future by volunteering to serve on boards and commissions.
Under state and city laws, there are certain areas of responsibility that fall not under the city council but under the authority of various boards and commissions.
The citizen volunteers who serve on these bodies play a crucial role in managing and designing key city policies and projects, and your help is needed.
The City of Elkins is seeking dedicated individuals for the following boards:
Building Commission: Reviews and selects financing packages for the acquisition of city real estate or for bond issuance thereon.
Tree Board: Serves as an advisory body on urban forestry, contributing to a greener, more sustainable city environment.
This is more than a call for volunteers; it’s an invitation to be part of something bigger, according to the city.
If you have the passion to serve your community and the drive to make a difference, you are encouraged to apply.
