St. Lucie County Administrator George Landry is likely stepping down to take a job on Florida’s west coast of Florida, TCPalm has learned.
Landry, who was appointed county administrator in 2022, likely will be named town manager for the town of Longboat Key, according to the Town Commission’s June 22 agenda. If his proposed contract is approved, Landry’s start date is expected to be Sept. 14.
Landry notified county department heads late Wednesday, June 17, of his impending departure, said county spokesperson Erick Gill. He also has told county commissioners he likely will be leaving in mid-August, Gill said.
Longboat Key’s current town manager is former St. Lucie County administrator Howard Tipton. Landry’s predecessor here stepped down from St. Lucie County to begin the Longboat Key job on Sept. 30, 2023.
