We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?

The Board of Zoning Appeals is tasked with reviewing cases such as requests for zoning variances, approvals for specific uses not typically allowed, changes to non-conforming uses, and appeals of decisions made by the Zoning Administrator. Opinions on these decisions are formalized in official notices prepared by city staff and approved by the board. To be eligible, applicants must reside in Washington County and have an interest in the board’s work. Members serve three-year terms and convene on the second Thursday of each month, provided there are cases to address.
Interested candidates can obtain applications from the City Clerk’s office or via the city’s website. Applications will be accepted until the current vacancy is filled.
