Instead of my normal monthly article, for several months we will be featuring each of our seven districts. Each one is a unique and special place to call home. We’ve also asked each board member from those districts to tell us a little about where they live and why they love being there. We hope you enjoy this series! — Jason Clemmons, CEO
District 5 occupies the southwest corner of Clark County REMC’s territory, touching portions of New Albany and Floyds Knobs. Known for its hilly terrain and abundance of forested land, district 5 enjoys some of the most picturesque views of southern Indiana, especially looking south toward the Ohio River valley. Mark Huber, District 5's director since 2021, shared a few thoughts about his home district:
Where Is Your Favorite Place To Eat in Your District?
I have a few favorites. The Yellow Cactus on Paoli Pike has excellent Mexican fare and was opened by a friend I worked with at the University of Louisville. And you can’t go wrong with a lunch from the Rice Bowl in New Albany.
Can You Share a Hidden Gem in Your District That More People Should Know About?
After eating at the Chicken House, head up the knobs to Skyline Drive. It is a beautiful drive over to Moser Knob with great views of Louisville.
What Hobbies or Activities Do You Enjoy Outside of Your Responsibilities With Clark County REMC?
I love getting my children and grandchildren involved with our faith, fishing, hunting, and camping. I also enjoy working with the teams on building homes for Clark/Floyd County Habitat for Humanity.
Who Has Been a Personal Inspiration to You in Your Journey, & Why?
On my journey with the REMC, two people were an inspiration. My uncle, Joe Huber, and my mother-in-law, Lucille Missi. Both served on the Harrison County REMC board and inspired me to also serve on our board.
