Peachtree Corners City Manager Stepping Down

PEACHTREE CORNERS, GA -- Julian Jackson, Peachtree Corners' first and only city manager, will be stepping down to retire, he announced this week.

Jackson, who began in his current post October 1, 2012, played a key role in the forming of the city and putting in place the foundations of its governing.

"We will always be indebted to Julian for his efforts in getting Peachtree Corners operational," said Mayor Mike Mason. "We have counted on his wisdom, advice and guidance. I and the city council wish him the very best in his retirement."

Before joining Peachtree Corners, Jackson was the city administrator in the City of Monroe for more than 12 years.

He began his career working for the state of Florida. He worked as finance director for the City of Perry, Fla., and held other city management positions over the years.

He was the assistant city administrator for Roswell before moving to Monroe.

"It is with sincere appreciation and thanks that I must tender my resignation as city manager for the city of Peachtree Corners," Jackson said. "It has been probably the greatest honor of my professional life to have been selected as Peachtree Corners’ first city manager."

Jackson’s last day in office will be August 3.
