"I have worked with Leamon for over 20 years and will be sad to see him go," said Mayor John Woods. "I want to assure the citizens of Davidson that the board of commissioners and I have a recruiting plan that will ensure a smooth transition."
The mayor and board of commissioners have selected recruiter Waters & Company Executive Recruitment/A Springsted Company and are ready to begin the search for his replacement.
