COUNTY COMMISSION TO SEEK NEW LEADERSHIP AT AREA PLAN

January 22, 2024

Mayor Stephanie Terry

1 N.W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.

Civic Center Complex, Room 302

Evansville, Indiana 47708

Dear Mayor Terry:

After lengthy review and careful consideration, the Board of Commissioners has determined that it is in the best interests of the citizens of Vanderburgh County to seek new leadership for the Area Plan Commission.  Over the past several years, it has become clear to us that the current Executive Director, Mr. Ron London, and legal counsel have a totally different vision and conflicting legislative goals from those of the elected officials and policymakers. 

We further  believe that he has repeatedly exceeded the scope of his duties as Executive Director and openly promoted his own personal agenda rather than merely registering differing opinions.

It is our hope that the City and County can come together to seek new leadership and new legal counsel in the Area Plan Commission which will promote our common goals and vision for this community.

Respectfully,

THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF VANDERBURGH COUNTY, INDIANA
