After four years as the Main Street Manager with the Washington Business District Authority, Shana Brown has announced that she is leaving to take a new job at Washington and Jefferson College. Brown made the announcement on WJPA Thursday morning. Brown says it was not an easy decision. She is taking a job as a ‘giving officer’ with the college and is to start by the end of the month. When asked what she takes the most pride in during her tenure with the Authority, Brown joked that it’s always about “Sheep” referring to the ‘running of the wools’ event here in downtown. On a serious note, Brown pointed to the more than thirty businesses that have located in the city during her tenure. Bradley Martin will take over as the new manager. The 32 year old Trinity graduate has worked with the CityWide Development Corporation for the past three years where he worked closely with Brown. Martin says he wants to continue the momentum that Brown has generated and build on that moving forward. (PHOTO: Washington Business District Authority website)
