CUMBERLAND PLANNING DISTRICT PICKS OFFICERS

Danny L. Brown, a member of the Russell County Board of Supervisors, is the new Cumberland Plateau Planning District chairman.

Tazewell County Supervisor Jack Reasor is vice chairman, Buchanan County Supervisor Earl Scott is secretary and Dickenson County Supervisor Ira Sullivan, treasurer.

They were elected at the commission's annual meeting earlier this month.

Brown says the district will continue its industrial-development efforts with its four member counties.

"We must always have available industrial sites and buildings for industrial prospects," he said. "If we're going to survive and prosper, the only way we can do it is to have job opportunities for our high school and college graduates."

The commission's board approved a $25,000 commitment for a proposed regional recycling and solid-waste management center, which has been under study by the organization.

Brown said the fate of the center would be decided in the next few months.
