The Rabun County Commission appoints a new member to the Development Authority of Rabun County.

At the Development Authority’s meeting on Monday, Matt Arthur was unanimously voted to be recommended to the Rabun County Board of Commissioners to fill a vacant seat on the authority.

At the Board of Commissioner’s meeting last night, after hearing from Ray Coulombe, Director of the Development Authority of Rabun County, Arthur was appointed to the seat.

Arthur, who is also the Superintendent of the Rabun County School System, respondedf to the Development Authority recommending him for appointment by the Commission.

“I’m glad they asked me to be on it, It’s an honor. Everybody on the board seems to have a great perspective on what we need here, and I definitely bring not only maybe a different perspective from the education viewpoint, but also on what we need to be doing in our school system to have a workforce here.”

Tuesday night’s vote appointing Arthur passed by unanimously.
