Brooks Town Manager Maurice Ungaro has announced his retirement, effective December 31, 2026, following seven and a half years leading the town’s administration.
Ungaro has spent more than 25 years working in local government in Georgia and South Carolina. During his time in Brooks, he oversaw numerous projects aimed at preserving and enhancing the small town’s character.
He has also represented Brooks on the Fayette County Transportation Committee, serving as its chairman for the past five years.
Ungaro identified cooperation among Fayette County’s local governments as one of the most rewarding aspects of his tenure. He noted that officials across the county have worked together for the benefit of their communities.
Brooks Mayor Dan Langford praised Ungaro’s contributions to the town and his relationships throughout the community.
“Maurice Ungaro is a consummate professional and a dear friend,” Langford said. “He has served Brooks wonderfully for several years, and is well-respected throughout the community.”
Langford also addressed the challenge of finding a successor.
“We will miss him greatly, and although his shoes will be nearly impossible to fill, we hope to find a replacement for him who will serve Brooks as well as he has,” Langford said.
Ungaro, who turned 65 this summer, said he is looking forward to the next stage of his life.
“And I know everyone in town joins me in wishing Maurice the best in this new chapter of his life,” Langford said.
