Stafford County mourns the death of Ralph Metts, a former member of the county Board of Supervisors. According to a press release from the county, Metts served on the board from 1964 to 1967 and again from 1976 to 1977. He was elected vice chairman in 1965, 1966 and 1967.
“On behalf of the board and the citizens of Stafford County, I extend our deepest condolences to the family of Ralph Metts,” Chairman of the Board Meg Bohmke said in a statement. “By all accounts, Mr. Metts was dedicated to public service and propelling Stafford County forward. We appreciate his service to Stafford County.”
Metts was most proud of his work on the board in building the first water treatment plant and expanding the public school system. He was on the board during a pivotal time in Stafford — the beginning of growth with the opening of Interstate 95 in the area in 1964.
