He’s served on the Noble County Economic Development Commission for seven years.
“As a family man, a community advocate, and a business leader, I am motivated to ensure that Kosciusko County remains a place of opportunity, growth, and strong family values,” Scherer said.
Kosciusko County remains a place of opportunity, growth, and strong family values,” Scherer said.
