 Maurice Jones will leave the Miller Center to become the assistant city manager. |
Jones’ hiring comes after a six-month search that netted over 150 applicants. After dealing with the local press as the City’s flak, he will have a different group to deal with this time around—the citizens.
Jones says, via press release, that he is looking forward to “serving as a liaison between our citizens and their City government.” He begins his job on February 26.
