What we do

The Washington County Authority was incorporated on May 4th, 1951. With over 70+ years of experience investing in our local community.

Common reasons for establishing municipal authorities include financing a project without tapping the general taxing or borrowing power of a municipality, facilitating the cooperative involvement of several municipalities in a project, and distancing the operation of a project from the political considerations inherent in direct municipal operation.
Board Members are the fiduciaries who steer the organization towards a sustainable future by adopting sound, ethical, and legal governance and financial management policies, as well as by making sure the organization has adequate resources to advance its mission.
Starting at the top with an Executive Director and the Solicitor both on the Support Team. Then a Chairman, Vice Chairman, Treasurer, Secretary and 3 Board Members all apart of the Board of Directors.
They are nominated by The Washington County Board of Commissioners (Nick Sherman, Electra Janis & Larry Maggi) to serve a 5 year term. The three Commissioners are pictured above.
The Board of 7 meets the second Thursday of every month in room 704 in Courthouse Square.
