ARC chairman Leithead re-elected

The Atlanta Regional Commission board has re-elected its chairman, Tad Leithead, to a second two-year term.

The ARC, led by a board of local elected officials and unelected citizens, is the official planning agency for metro Atlanta, and has spent the last year staffing the "roundtable" that drew up a $6.14 billion project list for next year's transportation referendum. Leithead is chairman of the Cumberland Improvement District, a self-taxing business district that works for transportation improvements. In the past he worked for Cousins Properties.

Under Leithead the ARC lost its top staff leaders for several months, but it has just hired a new director, Doug Hooker.
