Planning and Zoning Commission – Open Position

West Jefferson has an opening on the Planning and Zoning Commission, and we are accepting applications through December 4, 2026.

If you're interested in getting involved and helping shape the future of West Jefferson, please contact the Clerk of Council, Jimmy Hall, by phone or email. His email address is included in the announcement.

This is an appointed position with a three-year term.

We encourage residents who are interested in serving their community and helping guide West Jefferson's future to apply!

As many of you know, we have an open seat on Village Council following the resignation of Jimmy Little.

Council members were asked to nominate a resident they felt would be a good fit to fill the vacant seat. Following phone interviews conducted by several Council members, two candidates were nominated: Michele Stewart and Josiah Finneran.

Both candidates will have an opportunity to address Council on Monday, November 16th, at 7:00 PM, during our regularly scheduled Council meeting. Each candidate will be given time to introduce themselves, followed by a question-and-answer session with Council members.

As with all our Council meetings, this meeting will be livestreamed on YouTube. This will give residents an opportunity to hear directly from both candidates, learn more about them, and see firsthand how each presents themselves. Residents will also be able to watch as Council votes to determine who will be appointed to fill the vacant seat.

I want to thank both Michele and Josiah for stepping forward, expressing an interest in serving, and being willing to give their time to our community. It takes a willingness to get involved and a commitment to public service to step up, and we appreciate both of them for wanting to serve our great Village of West Jefferson!

As was made official and became public information during last night’s Council meeting, Mr. Jimmy Little has resigned from his seat on Village Council, after many years of loyal service to the community.

Under the established process, Council has 30 days from last night to interview candidates, nominate, and appoint a new Council member. If Council fails to fill the vacancy within that timeframe, the Mayor will make the appointment.

With that said, if you are a West Jefferson resident who has an interest in serving your community and helping shape the future of our Village, now is the time to step forward and put your name into consideration.

During our next regularly scheduled Council meeting, interested candidates will have the opportunity to address Council and participate in a question-and-answer session. Following the interviews, Council will vote on who we believe is the best fit to serve our community.

If you are interested in this position, please contact me at 614-205-2746, send me a private message through Facebook Messenger. I will make sure your name is added to the list of interested candidates.

Serving on Council is an opportunity to make a difference, represent our residents, and help guide the future of West Jefferson. If you have a desire to serve, I encourage you to step forward and become part of the process. Time is short, so please, if you want to serve West Jefferson, act quickly.

Thank you!
