UPDATE: State takeover of Clay County Development Corporation, director removed

CLAY COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) — The Appalachian Area Agency on Aging has taken over the Clay County Development Corporation as of Tuesday morning.

Ramona Stanley with the Appalachian Area Agency on Aging will manage the Clay County Development Corporation for the next six months or until a new executive director is hired.

There is an agreement signed with board of directors effective Tuesday.

Stanley will work to make sure all senior services continue, strengthen the board and their financial stewardship.

There will also be possible bylaw changes and AAA will have authority to adjust salaries.

The development corporation recently made national and international headlines after the former executive director, Pamela Taylor, made a racist Facebook post that went viral.

The board of directors of the Clay County Development Corporation met last week and sent letters to Pamela Taylor and her two sisters, removing them from their positions with the non-profit. Taylor’s two sisters were both employees.

State leaders met Tuesday morning at the center with current employees and continue to the takeover process.

The locks to the building were changed Monday.

According to Commissioner Robert Roswall with the Bureau of Senior Services, one of the two state agencies funding the Clay County Development Corporation, there were several contract violations that added up to a big problem and the takeover.

The CCDC was not complying with any Freedom of Information Act requests and was not holding open meetings. There was also no non-discrimination policy in place that covered seniors being served by the non-profit.

The job she just lost paid $80,000/year.
