Two state offices to close in Union County


By Diane Petryk
The Daily Item

LEWISBURG — Union County’s government building will lose two state government tenants in January, but the local services they provide won’t be eliminated.

Kate Fairweather, regional director of the Governor’s Action Team, and Kim Wheeler, local government policy specialist with the state Department of Community and Economic Development, will have to move, said DCED spokeswoman Jamie Yates, but their jobs are not being eliminated.

Instead, they will move in with another state agency in central Pennsylvania, she said. The site location decision has not been finalized, she said.

Closing the office is a cost-saving measure, not related to any employee furloughs, Yates said.

On Tuesday morning, Wheeler was unaware the final decision had been made. Her office, she said, provides technical assistance to local governments in 14 counties.

County commissioners Chairman Preston Boop said Tuesday afternoon he thought the county has given the state a reasonable rent on the two offices.
