The Chattanooga City Council has confirmed Cedric Henson as administrator of the Department of Community Development, following his appointment by Mayor Tim Kelly in July.

Henson previously served as deputy administrator for the Department of Public Works and has worked for the city for the past two years.

Mayor Kelly praised Henson’s leadership, saying he has “done an outstanding job as interim administrator” and is the right person to guide the department as it transitions to the new Community Hub model.

Henson said he’s honored to take on the permanent role and looks forward to continuing to serve residents alongside his team and community center managers.
