Vote on WCDC move postponed

The president of the Webster County Development Council postponed a special called meeting that was to have been earlier this week.

The meeting had been set for this Tuesday at Wood College 30 minutes before a presentation by Vision to Action committees was to begin. President Larry Crowley had set the date for the meeting at the WCDC Board's quarterly meeting on Sept. 11.

The purpose of the meeting was to have been to discuss and vote on the possibility of moving the WCDC office to the Eupora Depot. But Crowley, in a notice to all WCDC directors and members that was issued Sept. 18, said the special meeting had been postponed. No reason was given for the postponement but the notice stated that a new date will be announced soon.

The city of Eupora has announced that it will no longer operate the leaf machine on a daily basis. Residents are asked to bag or box their leaves, pine straw or other lawn rubbish to be picked up by the garbage truck with their regular trash.
