Baltimore County Council approves Olszewski nominations for fire chief, Planning Board

The Baltimore County Council on Monday night approved new leadership for the Planning Board and the appointment of the county’s first Black fire chief. Last week, County Executive Johnny Olszewski nominated researcher C. Scott Holupka to be chair and real estate professional Emily Brophy to be vice chair. He had previously tapped Joseph W. Dixon, a longtime leader in the Howard County fire department who recently moved to Florida to lead the Gainesville department, to be fire chief.
