The City of Blountstown now has an interim city manager and a public works director on staff.
Traci Hall, longtime finance director, has been appointed by the City Council to serve as the interim city manager for 90 days.
“At the end of that time, the Council will decide what they want to do,” Hall reports. “It has been discussed that possibly I would stay city manager and continue as finance director as well.”
Hall is filling the post held by Emory Pierce who resigned back in May. He cited family reasons for leaving.
Jeremy Norris has been hired as public works director for the city. Hall says, “He began his position June 26 and is doing a great job.”
