The Catoosa County Board of Commissioners named Ringgold City Manager Dan Wright as the new Catoosa County manager, who will oversee the day-to-day operations of Catoosa County Government.

“We are excited to have Dan Wright join Catoosa County Government,” said Catoosa County Commission Chairman Steven Henry. “Dan has many years of experience with successfully managing government operations and employees for the City of Ringgold.

He has built productive relationships within the community and with our state partners, so he is a natural fit to serve all citizens of Catoosa County.”
