Fayette County commissioners appoint inaugural board for new Development & Finance Authority
Summary
Commissioners rescinded a prior appointment resolution and appointed five initial directors to the newly formed Fayette County Development & Finance Authority, assigning staggered initial terms as required by the creating resolution and Ohio law.
The Fayette County Board of Commissioners on March 16 rescinded a prior October 20, 2025 resolution and appointed the initial five-member Board of Directors for the Fayette County Development & Finance Authority (the Port Authority), created under Ohio Revised Code Sections 4582.21–4582.71.
The commissioners named the initial directors and their staggered initial terms as follows: Richard Boggs and Brian Pettit (one-year initial terms); Andrew Daniels (two years); Scott Baird (three years); and Daniel Dean (four years). The resolution states each appointee will continue until the later of their term expiration or until a successor is appointed and qualified.
The resolution directs the Fayette County Economic Development Director, or a designee of the commissioners, to coordinate with the initial members and give notice of the Board’s organizational meeting so the Port Authority can organize and begin work. The action was adopted by roll call vote of Commissioners Garland, Anderson and Fleak.
The creation and appointment were carried out under the authority cited in the creating resolution (recorded in county journal) and the relevant Ohio statutes for development authorities.
