LOCK HAVEN – Lock Haven City Planner Abbey Roberts was unanimously appointed to serve as interim manager at a special meeting Thursday night.

The decision comes days after council voted 4-3 to suspend and ultimately terminate former manager Gregory Wilson from the role at its regular meeting on Monday night.

Roberts will assume Wilson’s former duties as manager and clerk effective immediately and receive a $5,000 monthly stipend on top of her current salary.

Roberts has served as the city’s planner since 2018.

Further information about the meeting will be included in Saturday’s print and digital edition of The Express.
