DeKalb Interim CEO Lee May is seeking changes to the county’s Development Authority.

Members of the DADC were notified of May’s plans over the weekend. During the next 30 days, May will submit his nominees to the DeKalb Board of Commissioners for their review and approval. The day-to-day operations of the DADC will remain unaffected as current board members are replaced. DADC board members will continue to serve until the new nominations are confirmed by the Board of Commissioners.

May said he is seeking candidates with a background in economic development, business law, and/or finance. Interested parties should forward their relevant information to CEO@dekalbcountyga.gov by March 18.
