Jason Cobb
White County Manager Jason Cobb will be leaving the position by the end of June.
Cobb submitted his resignation to the White County Board of Commissioners during a meeting Monday evening, May 3. Cobb is departing to “pursue a private business opportunity,” according to a statement released Tuesday morning on behalf of commissioners.
“To say that we were surprised is an understatement however; we appreciate Jason’s work for the citizens of White County over the last year and pray for the best for him and his family on this new undertaking,” the statement read.
Commissioners and Cobb agreed on June 25 as his last day with the county. The arrangement will carry through the county’s current budget process and prepare for transition into the new fiscal year beginning July 1.
“On a personal note I had high expectations that Jason and his family would have been with us for many years to provide daily leadership for the great citizens of White County, however, that wasn’t meant to happen. We wish Jason, Callie and his girls the best on their future endeavors,” said County Chairman Travis Turner. “Given that this is so fresh for us all, the Board will be meeting in the coming days to discuss what our next steps will be because we truly need guidance through prayer on where to take this very important position for the county.”
More information will be included in the May 6, 2021, issue of the White County News.
