The Jefferson County Commission has appointed a new slate of members to the Development Authority following the board's disbandment. During a recent meeting in Charles Town, officials selected Jill Upson and nine others to fill the vacancies after conducting interviews. Concerns were raised by community members, including notable citizens like Christine Marshall, about potential conflicts of interest among some of the applicants. This decision has implications for local governance and the development initiatives in the region.
