SALEM, Ohio (WKBN) – A new deputy registrar has taken over at the BMV location in Salem, which is still open and providing the same services.

The Salem BMV never closed.

Smart understands the importance of the Salem location and being able to keep it open.

“I think it’s great. It’s obviously a blessing for me, financially, and being able to be part of the community. I live in Hanoverton, so I’m not too far,” Smart said. “I enjoy the people and it’s nice getting to meet everybody that comes in this area.”
