Judd Drake has been selected as the new interim manager for Athens-Clarke County.
During Tuesday’s ACC Mayor and Commission meeting, Commissioners approved Mayor Kelly Girtz’s recommendation of Judd Drake to replace former Interim Manager Brad Griffin, who was named interim manager in January. His tenure was limited because he was an ACCGov retiree.
Drake has served as the county attorney since July 2019. He will resume that role once a permanent manager is chosen. A national search is in progress to fill that position. Deputy Chief Attorney John Hawkins will serve as Interim Attorney.
