Last week, Chattooga County Commissioner Andy Allen announced that a former Rome City official has been named as the new Chattooga County Public Works Director.  Allen appointed Tim Brunson, who had served as the Assistant Director of the Rome Water and Sewer Division to head up the county’s public works department.  Earlier this year, Allen took over the daily management of the county’s public works after the resignation of Yancey Robinson.  Robinson had served as public works director since 2021.  Commissioner Allen says that Brunson’s experience in local governmental service was a deciding factor in his naming Brunson to the position.  Brunson attended Shorter University and has over three decades of experience in local government public works.
