Steven Ross has resigned as administrator of the Drug and Alcohol Program of Luzerne and Wyoming counties.
Ross resigned effective at the end of last week, county Manager David Pedri announced Monday.
Ross had been employed by the program since 1998 and served as program administrator since 2016, Pedri said. Ross had previously served as the program’s fiscal officer.
Pedri praised Ross for his long service to the community at the county and state levels.
“I wish him the best,” Pedri said in a phone interview Monday.
Ryan Hogan, deputy administrator of the drug and alcohol program, will be the primary point of contact for the program until a new administrator is appointed, according to Pedri.
“We are confident that Ryan will be a strong leader during this transition and going forward,” Pedri said in a statement.
Pedri said he plans to post the position soon “and go forward from there.”
Ross was paid a salary of $73,807 this year, according to county records.
