The Lumpkin County Board of Commissioners has selected Alan Ours to fill the position of County Manager.
Ours was recently named one of two finalists for the position being vacated by the retirement of longtime County Manager Stan Kelley.
According to information released by the county Wednesday, Ours has many years of experience as a county manager and most recently served for 10 years as the county manager for Glynn County in Coastal Georgia.
The county received more than 50 applications for the job, and a search committee of community leaders assisted the Board in narrowing the list.
Ours will start the job on Monday, Aug. 2.
