highways

A town in Steuben County hired its first female—and youngest—highway superintendent. Saige McGarvey, 19, took the position after a newly elected official stepped down weeks before signing the oath of office on Jan. 1.

The towns of Addison and Wheeler in Steuben County voted down similar ballot measures during this year’s general election. Both wanted to eliminate the elected highway superintendent position and replace it with an appointed one.
