If you hear a giant sigh of relief emanating from the Melvin Municipal Office Building this week, it’s probably be coming from Bob Morgan’s office.
He’s been filling in as city manager since March. On Friday, Morgan will hand control of the local government to new City Manager Rashad Young.
Young left his post as city manager in his native Dayton, Ohio, last week. He’ll attend his first Greensboro City Council meeting just a few days after moving to the city, on Oct. 20.
And soon, he could be coming to a council district near you. City Council members have been planning two welcome receptions at which residents and business leaders can meet Young.
Young also suggested meetings in each of the council districts would be a good way “to gain insight into the community and hear what is important to Greensboro residents,” he wrote in an e-mail to council members.
Stay tuned for times and places of those events.
