Young Named Greensboro City ManagerSeptember 1, 2009 | Caron MyersThe City of Greensboro has a new city manager. On Tuesday morning, city council members named 33-year-old Rashad M. Young as the city manager. The council members had conducted a nationwide search after firing former city manager, Mitch Johnson, this past spring.
While eight of the nine city council members voted to hire Young, one member, Mike Barber, voted against him, citing inexperience and a salary he considered too steep.
