Colleagues, friends and family members of Oakwood City Manager Stan Brown gathered on May 11 to recognize him for being named as one of 2015’s top 10 public works leaders by the American Public Works Association. There have only been seven named to this list from the state of Georgia since 1960, according to APWA region director Tommy Brown. “It is not only an honor for Stan, but for his employer, the Georgia chapter of APWA and the entire public works profession of the state of Georgia,” Tommy Brown said.
