The Journal | Wednesday, May 14, 2025
During a recent Shepherdstown Town Council meeting, Carrie Blessing was appointed to fill a vacant council seat. This position, previously held by Town Recorder Marty Amerikaner since March, aligns with Blessing’s commitment to serving her community, as evidenced by her previous run for the Jefferson County Commission and her involvement with local organizations like the Shepherdstown Community Club. Blessing aims to advocate for neglected areas of Shepherdstown and foster collaboration between the town, the university, and local service groups, bringing her experience as a small business owner to the role. Mayor James Gatz expressed confidence in Blessing's abilities to contribute positively to the community until the term's conclusion in June 2026, reaffirming the town's commitment to inclusivity and growth.
