MARTINSVILLE

The Martinsville Board of Zoning Appeals will have a new member when it meets next Tuesday after Martinsville Mayor Shannon Kohl swore in Anna Elliott in the mayor’s office on Tuesday.

Elliott has a background in realty, currently working Keller Williams and currently serves as the treasurer for the Libertarian Party of Morgan County.

“I am excited to help my city by serving,” Elliott said in a news release from the county’s Libertarian Party. “I think I can provide a fresh perspective to Martinsville’s Board of Zoning Appeals.”

The county’s party chairman, Danny Lundy, believes that Elliott will be a great asset for the Martinsville BZA.

“This is great news for Martinsville,” Lundy said in the news release. “Anna is qualified for the job, a hard worker and someone who genuinely cares about her community. The people of Martinsville are fortunate to have her.”

Elliott is the second Libertarian to be appointed to a governmental role in Morgan County.

Earlier this year, Lundy was appointed to serve on the Mooresville Police Commission.
