TROY, OHIO - William Lutz recently filed petitions with the Miami County Board of Elections as a Candidate in the 2017 Republican Primary seeking an At-Large seat on the Troy City Council.

Over the length of his career, Mr. Lutz has worked in the City of Troy’s Economic Development Department and was appointed as the first Township Administrator of Bethel Township in Miami County. For eight years, he served the City of Piqua in their Development Department and is currently the Executive Director of New Path, Inc., a faith-based non-profit human service agencies that is affiliated with Ginghamsburg Church in Tipp City.
