Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens announced multiple changes to key administration positions on Friday afternoon.
The announcement said that as part of his efforts to enact the Move Atlanta Forward plans, leadership positions in multiple city departments and management positions would be filled by new leaders.
“My vision for an Atlanta that has safe, healthy and connected neighborhoods and access and opportunity for all residents is not a 10, 20 or 30-year goal,” Dickens said in a statement . “We are building for the future, but we also know we can make a difference in people’s lives right now. My Moving Atlanta Forward agenda has achievable action items and we’ve seen that by bringing people together from the business, government, and nonprofit sectors, we can get more done, faster.”
