New Clayton City Manager happy to be back Home

It was a busy first week on the job for new Clayton City Manager Trudy Crunkleton but she is happy to be back home.  “Busy!  Definitely in a word busy but great.  Just hit the ground running getting to meet all the staff and have a wonderful team here.  I’m so excited about getting to work with this group and they’ve already got such great practices and everything in place.  So, stepping into a team that already works as a team is great!”  Crunkleton is a native of Rabun County and said returning home has been a dream of hers.  “It’s a dream come true for me for sure.  Rabun County native, my heart has always been here, I always wanted to be back, and so this is just full circle to be all the way back home and could not be happier to be back in the community that has always just been the most special place in the world to me.”  Crunkleton’s first day on the job was April 18.  She has worked for the City of Carrollton and most recently in Clarkesville with their downtown development projects.
