The County Administrator is the Chief Executive Officer of Westmoreland County. Like a CEO leads a corporation, the County Administrator manages the County government. He and his staff watch out for and address issues that can affect the health and welfare of you and your government down the road. Most importantly, the Board of Supervisors and county administrative staff work together to develop and implement the policies and procedures that make Westmoreland County a great place to live, visit or run a business.
