Mayor: “Learning Experience” For DDC
Kathy Cornwell has spent over 40 years in local media, starting her career with an internship at WCBC in the late 1980s. After graduating from Frostburg State University, she worked extensively in cable television advertising and programming with Comcast. From 2002 to 2005, she was married to WCBC's Jim Robey. Kathy returned to the News Department at WCBC in 2023. She lives in Cumberland with her husband, retired radio station manager Rich Cornwell.
Most of Cumberland is still digging out from winter storm Fern, and there are still questions and comments around the efforts of snow removal downtown. Complaints about parking and particularly sidewalk passage were many.

“I think this is a learning experience going forward for the DDC and their contractor on sort of what the expectations are from the public and the property owners.”
