OGDENSBURG â Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority Interim Executive Director Steven P. Lawrence will have to wait another month before he can drop the âinterimâ from his title. Naming Mr. Lawrence the permanent executive director of the authority was the last item on the boardâs agenda Thursday afternoon, but Chairman Vernon âSamâ Burns added a twist. âBecause I should have moved faster regarding moving information to Albany â so that they understand what weâre thinking â I ask someone to table this until next month,â Mr. Burns said of the resolution calling for Mr. Lawrenceâs promotion. Mr. Lawrence became interim executive director after the departure of previous executive director, Wade A. Davis, in January of last year. Mr. Davis left Ogdensburg to be director of airports in Shreveport, La. Mr. Lawrence had been the director of operations for the authority.
