“I have enjoyed working for the City and will miss the City employees, volunteers on our boards, and the City residents,” Mikorski said in a written statement.
“I am most proud of the work I did to improve the downtown environment, working with neighborhood leaders on the Neighborhood Coordinating Council, improving the benefits for the City employees, and stabilizing the City’s financial condition.
“I would love to see the projects that have been started get completed such as the Deckers Creek Pedestrian Bridge and the downtown municipal wireless project, I think they will have a big impact on the City.”
Mikorski has spent the last 16 years with the city of Morgantown, serving as the city manager since 2013 and assistant city manager prior to that.
