Okaloosa County hires new county administrator

The Okaloosa County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved the hiring of Jim Curry as the new Okaloosa County Administrator.
Curry has been employed with the county for the past 27 years. He served as the Director of Administrative Services since 1997 overseeing operations of nine county departments and working as assistant to the county manager. Curry began his career with the county as a correction’s officer in 1978 and was then named as the Director of the Department of Corrections prior to his position as Administrative Services Director.
Curry is replacing former County Manager Chris Holley who left his post in June to serve as the new Executive Director of the Florida Association of Counties.
Since Holley’s departure, Curry has been serving as interim County Manager. The County Administrator position is a new title which replaces the former County Manager position.
