Granville officials said goodbye to their longtime law director at the March 3 village council meeting.
The village has contracted with a law firm to fill that role as officials continue to consider possibly elevating the law director’s post to full-time status.
As reported Feb. 21, Gov. Mike DeWine recently named Michael King – who has served as law director and prosecutor for the village of Granville for nearly a decade – to the position of judge with the Franklin County Municipal Court.
King replaces Judge William Pollitt, who died last year. King took office March 1, and his term expires on Jan. 3 of next year. To remain judge, King must run for election in November to receive a full term, beginning Jan. 4.

We had a great January. We got a lot done in January so we were a little ahead of schedule there, says Franklin County Board Member, Kevin Weston.
Weston says while the weather has been active the past couple of weeks the winter season as a whole has been good for construction. February being as cold as it s been and with the snow it s set us a little bit behind on the one wall here. That is the northeast wall and then we re also going up the south bearing wall with is slowed down a little bit as far as the masonry goes.
