The York County commissioners and representatives of the York County Planning Commission announced on June 17 that one new position will be established in each organization to address diversity, equity, and inclusion.
In the commissioners' organization, a chief opportunity officer will seek to ensure that the staff reflects the demographics of York County's diverse community, according to Kristy Bixler, deputy administrator for the County of York. The Planning Commission will add an equity and inclusion community planner who will oversee a countywide plan focused on creating an inclusive culture, shared Planning Commission director Felicia Dell. Together, the new staff members will seek to address inequities that exist among residents across York County and to help the county to provide all its residents with equitable access to public resources.
