Uwharrie Commission holds first meeting

The Uwharrie Regional Resources Commission, established by the NC General Assembly last year to protect and promote the region's natural resources, held its first meeting last night in Stanly County. Karissa Minn with the Salisbury Post has a recap of the meeting.

One of the primary tasks involved selecting the commission's leadership. Tony Dennis, chairman of the Stanly County Board of Commissioners, was elected chairman. Max Walser, former chairman of the Davidson County Board of Commissioners, was elected vice chairman. Jason Walser, executive director of the Central Piedmont LandTrust, was elected secretary and treasurer.

Other members of the commission include Keith Crisco, Roger Dick, Dee Freeman, Martha Sue Hall, Zoe Hanes, David Jones, Bill Mullinix, Jim Nance and Becky Wallace.

The group's next meeting will be February 24.
