Michael C. Harris, a former interim county manager for Henry County, was formerly introduced Tuesday as the south metro community’s new deputy tax commissioner.
Harris, who has worn many hats in the county -- including civil engineer, development plan director and public works director -- comes to the tax commissioner position after a recent stint as city manager for the recently formed city of Stonecrest in DeKalb County.
“We, the Henry County Tax Commissioner's office are very fortunate to have Michael Harris return home,” said Henry County Tax Commissioner David Curry. “While Mr. Harris brings a wealth of knowledge, he more importantly brings with him a ‘service above self’ approach to governing.”
Harris, a native of Stockbridge, was interim county manager for Henry County from 2013 to 2014. He also was city manager for Stockbridge for three years and served as
Henry County’s community development division director, overseeing planning and zoning, environmental compliance and community development block grants.
He has been in the Henry Tax Commissioner's Office for the past month, after being one of three top officials to leave Stonecrest since the end of 2018.
“Coming back to Henry County government and seeing so many familiar faces has been a great homecoming,” Harris said. “In my new role as chief deputy tax commissioner, I look forward to working with David and the staff here to continue to build upon the outstanding legacy of service, integrity and excellence that has already been established.
