The executive director of the Ritchie County Economic Development Authority has
suddenly resigned. Eldolia Weir submitted a two sentence letter of resignation to
Floyd Hodge, President of the development group.
Weir, who had the position for a few months, is said to have resigned because she
felt a lack of support from the board and problems with inadequate office space.
She had maintained offices in the Gen. Thomas Harris museum in Harrisville. Hodge
said she had no privacy since the office room was shared by the Chamber of
Commerce, EDA and the Ritchie County Community Foundation.
Weir had been the executive director of a Huntsville, Alabama and Pittsburgh
development group.
The future of the Ritchie development authority was unclear.
