LEWISBURG — Lewisburg Village Council met on Thursday, June 16, and during the meeting recognized the county’s retiring director of workforce and economic development.

Council welcomed Brenda Latanza, director of the Preble County Development Partnership. Lantanza had announced her retirement effective July 1. She has a history of working in a nonprofit educational, economic, and workforce development.

“I wish her well in her retirement and for all her contributions to the village of Lewisburg,” Mayor Marsha Jones said of Latanza.

Latanza echoed back, “More than anything I want to say thank you for investing in the Partnership, because when you care about your businesses and the workforce and everything — it’s good both ways.”

“I feel like I’m leaving on top of the world,” Latanza continued.

Municipal Manager Jeff Sewert also spoke to council about the Community of Faith Church participating in its initiative of “I Love My Community.” Lewisburg was fortunate enough to have the church volunteer to do projects around the village such as paint the curbs in front of Tri-County North School, according to Sewert.
