Fayetteville

is looking for a new Main Street director.

Shellie Reed

resigned Dec. 11, according to City Manager Joe Morton, after about six

months on the job.

Reed joined

the city in August of last year, working as an assistant to Sherri Anderson,

the former Main Street director, before taking over the department earlier

this year. Anderson resigned after filing a sexual harassment complaint

against former City Manager Mike Bryant that led to Bryant's resignation.

"We're

sorry to see Shellie leave, and we wish her the best," said Morton.

"We have seen some progress with the Main Street program during her

tenure."

Reed said that

she is pursuing other career opportunities in public relations and could

work with another Main Street city in Georgia, since she has a "passion"

for that program.

"I have

truly enjoyed working with the Fayetteville Main Street program,"

she said. "The sense of community pride in our city and county are

exceptional. I have had the genuine pleasure of serving our community

and working with some extraordinary individuals, companies and organizations."

As for replacing

her, city officials are now reviewing the job description, which Morton

said is customary when a position becomes vacant, and expect to announce

the opening no later than right after the holidays.
