Miller new buildings and grounds director of Holmes County
After nearly three decades of working for Melway Paving, Kevin Miller has opted to branch out into a new arena, that being taking on the role of Holmes County’s new buildings and grounds and solid waste management director.
Miller said he learned a great deal over his 28 years of working at Melway, noting he was grateful to Steve Schlabach for giving him the opportunity to work for such a great company.
He said he felt it was simply time to explore another career path. He said when he read the position was available, he believed he would be a great fit and that it would be an enjoyable and challenging role.
“I’m looking forward to this new opportunity to take care of the buildings and grounds,” Miller said. “I’m always impressed with how nice it looks here when I drive by, and I want to continue that.”
Miller said everyone has already been very cordial and accommodating to the new kid on the block, giving a specific nod to Susan Schie, Holmes County commissioner clerk, for her willingness to work with him and show him the ropes.
“I’m really excited for the opportunity in front of me,” Miller said. “I’m ready to dig in and get going.”
Miller said that in sitting in on the weekly commissioners’ meetings, he has already learned a great deal about the operations of the county on the government level, noting he has seen how the commissioners continue to spend the county’s money wisely.
“I’m very impressed with everything that goes on here (in the county government),” Miller said. “I had no idea that this much goes on. I think it’s great.”
