Warrensburg Supervisor Kevin Geraghty was selected Tuesday to chair the Warren County Board of Supervisors in 2024, the third consecutive year he has been chosen to sit as chair of the board. Geraghty received an overwhelming majority of votes from his colleagues on the 20-member Board of Supervisors at the board’s annual organization meeting.
“I am honored that my colleagues have selected me to chair our Board of Supervisors and I would like to thank everyone who supported me,” Geraghty said. “We accomplished many good things in 2023, a balanced budget with a reduced tax rate chief among them, and Warren County is in good shape as we head into 2024. I look forward to working with each of my colleagues on the board and all of our great Warren County employees to continue to make Warren County an outstanding place to live, work and vacation.”
Supervisor Geraghty was nominated to return as chair at Tuesday’s meeting by Lake Luzerne Town Supervisor Gene Merlino. 2024 will be Supervisor Geraghty’s seventh year as chair of the board, as he also spent 4 years as chair between 2013 and 2016.
In addition to his time as chairman, Supervisor Geraghty previously served as Warren County Budget Officer for 6 years, and acting Warren County Administrator for 1-1/2 years between 2016 and 2018.
Supervisor Geraghty has been Warrensburg Town Supervisor since 2007. He was elected town supervisor after a career working in management at the former International Paper Co. plant in Corinth.
Warren County Clerk Carrie Black, sworn into office as county clerk on Tuesday morning, administered the oath of office during Wednesday’s meeting. Six new supervisors were sworn in along with 14 returning supervisors for 2024.
Geraghty plans a state-of-the-county address at the Board of Supervisors’ next meeting, on Friday, January 19, 2024. The board’s meetings at Warren County Municipal Center are open to the public, and also livestreamed and video archived here on the Warren County YouTube page.
