LOCK HAVEN — The Board of Directors of Downtown Lock Haven, Inc. has announced the new manager for their organization. Holly Wilson will be taking on this new role beginning Nov. 13.

Wilson was born and raised in Clinton County and is a 2016 Central Mountain High School graduate.

“I’m super excited about the position! Getting to interact with all the businesses and building relationships with them while continuing the community development that Kira started,” Wilson said.

Downtown Lock Haven, Inc. is a 501c3 organization that has maintained a presence in the City of Lock Haven for more than two decades.
