Livingston County Board Chair Bob Young has announced that he’s stepping down, and a search to fill his seat is in progress.

Young represents District 2, and Interim Chair Kathy Arbogast will make an appointment to the empty seat at the board’s Oct. 17 meeting.

Those interested in applying must be a registered Republican, live in District 2 (Amity, Broughton, Dwight, Esmen, Long Point, Nevada, Newtown, Odell, Owego, Reading, Round Grove, Sunbury and Union Townships), and send a letter to the County Clerk’s office before Oct. 2.
