“Being a resident of the city for 14 years, I fully understand the importance of a strong ZBA and can be objective,” Crawford said.
Crawford has served on the ZBA for 10, years. Prior to becoming the board chairman, Crawford served as secretary and co-chair.
Also on Monday, the mayor and council appointed Walter Coleman to Springville’s Planning & Zoning adjustment board for a six-year term. Coleman will serve as one of nine members on the board.
