There is an open seat on the Knox Planning Commission.
Planning Commission members intended to approve an appointment during their meeting Tuesday night but since the individual who was up for approval also serves on the Hospital Board they were unable to fill the open position.
Planning Administrator Kenny Pfost said that in order to be eligible for the position, the resident must live within the two-mile jurisdiction surrounding the City of Knox and they have to be a registered Republican. He noted that the individual would need to be appointed by the Starke County Commissioners.
If you fit those specifications and you’d like to get involved you can submit a letter of interest to the Starke County Commissioners. Those letters have to be turned in to the Starke County Auditor’s Office located in Annex Building #1 at 53 East Mound Street.
