Chamblee, GA — Chamblee City Manager Jon Walker has announced his resignation. He will serve as city manager until the end of November.

Walker was appointed as interim city manager in May 2016 and was made permanent in September 2016, according to a press release. During his tenure, the city has built a new City Hall, a new Public Safety Complex with Arrow Creek Park, Peachtree Road streetscape, and expanded the Rail Trail through the mid-city district.
