Did you ever want to know about the City of Oak Ridge and its latest initiatives and projects?  What about its financial stability; its existing and upcoming problems and issues; its future focus; the nuclear renaissance? Have lunch with us, bring a friend, and ask lots of questions.

Randy Hemann has been City Manager of Oak Ridge since November 2023. Previously, Mr. Hemann was Town Manager of Mooresville for 4 years. During his time there, he helped the community grow and invest in services including a new police headquarters, fire station, a park, library branch, and the largest skatepark in the southeast.

Mr. Hemann helped construct a $36 million baseball stadium that spurred downtown growth in High Point, NC, where he was Assistant Manager for four years. He also helped streamline the building inspections process and increased community code enforcement.

He served as City Manager in Oxford, North Carolina for two years following a 27-year career in the field of downtown development in Salisbury, Kinston and Benson, North Carolina.
