City of Durham Announces New Deputy City Manager

 

DURHAM, N.C. - City Manager Tom Bonfield has named Garaland Keith
Chadwell as the new deputy city manager for Community Building.

 

Community Building, while not a new area of focus for the City,
officially links departments that directly perform "outreach services"
such as planning, building, enhancing city neighborhoods and economic
development, Bonfield said.  "Keith's breadth of experience uniquely
made him the best fit for the position at this time.  While he has
worked in the areas that he will oversee, he also understands how each
department works collaboratively to support the community.  That
experience is vital, not just for the community, but also the work of
other City departments."

 

Chadwell will lead the following departments:  Durham City/County
Planning; Durham City/County Inspections; Human Relations; Community
Development; Neighborhood Improvement Services; and the Office of
Economic and Workforce Development.

 

Chadwell comes to the City of Durham with more than 25 years of
experience in state and local government, most recently as the city
manager with the City of Pompano Beach, Fla.  Prior to this position,
Chadwell was the deputy county manager of Community Services with the
Fulton County Government in Atlanta, Ga.; chief operating officer for
the Government of the District of Columbia in Washington, D.C.; and
regional director of the Virginia Department of Social Services in
Virginia Beach, Va.

 

Chadwell holds a bachelor's degree in Political Science and Mass
Communications from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Ga. as well as a
master's degree in Public Administration from the University of Toledo
in Toledo, Ohio.  He will join the City in mid-September.
