DeLeon out as port authority executive director

VIENNA

The Western Reserve Port Authority has removed Rose Ann DeLeon from her position as executive director.

The port authority announced Feb. 20 that DeLeon had been off work on medical leave since Jan. 16 and might not be returning.

The board approved a resolution indicating she had been “relieved of her title and responsibilities” and thanked her for “her years of service and contribution” to the [port authority] for the great progress she was instrumental in providing.

DeLeon was off work for several months in 2012 while battling cancer but said she last November she had regained her health.
