The Woodlands Township board of directors named Jeff Jones its next president and general manager to replace Don Norrell, who has served in that capacity for 14 years.
Jones was named the new general manager when the board reconvened after executive session at its June 24 meeting. He will start no later than Aug. 31, according to information presented at the meeting. Township board meetings are being held via videoconference during the coronavirus outbreak.
Norrell was initially slated to retire April 30 but extended his time as general manager due to the coronavirus. The contract was initially extended until June 30, but it was extended again through Sept. 6 after action at the June 24 board meeting.
Board Chairman Gordy Bunch said the new general manager will start by Aug. 31, so there will be no gap in the leadership position.
