PRESS RELEASE

WHITE COUNTY, Ga. — On Monday evening during the executive session of the Board of Commissioners, Mr. Jason Cobb, County Manager, submitted his resignation to pursue a private business opportunity. To say that we were surprised is an understatement however; we appreciate Jason’s work for the citizens of White County over the last year and pray for the best for him and his family on this new undertaking.

The Board and Jason have agreed that Friday, June 25, will be his last day with White County. This will give us the opportunity to finish our budget process and prepare for a transition as we go into the new fiscal year.

Chairman Turner states, “On a personal note I had high expectations that Jason and his family would have been with us for many years to provide daily leadership for the great citizens of White County however that wasn’t meant to happen. We wish Jason, Callie and his girls the best on their future endeavors. Given that this is so fresh for us all, the Board will be meeting in the coming days to discuss what our next steps will be because we truly need guidance through prayer on where to take this very important position for the county.”
