                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD HUDSON

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, February 25, 2022

  Mr. HUDSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Jonathan Marshall 
for 34 years of service to Cabarrus County, including a decade of 
service as Deputy County Manager. I have seen his extraordinary 
leadership firsthand and how much he means to our community.
  Mr. Marshall began his career with Cabarrus County in 1988 as a land-
use planner and retires after more than three decades of service. 
Exemplary in his innate understanding of the relationship between 
people and land, he held the positions of Senior Planner, Planning 
Services Director, and Commerce Director before being named Deputy 
County Manager in December 2011.
  Over the course of his career, Mr. Marshall has exhibited exceptional 
commitment and dedication to improving our community. He has led 
Cabarrus County through a time of unprecedented growth and his work 
will be felt for generations to come. Mr. Marshall's early efforts on 
the western area plan, for example, helped to sustain economic growth 
resulting from land development around Charlotte Motor Speedway and 
Concord Mills. He has also fostered a unique culture of collaboration 
between community stakeholders, and relationships between the County 
and municipalities have flourished under his extraordinary leadership.
  I would like to extend my most heartfelt appreciation to Mr. Marshall 
for his years of exemplary service to Cabarrus County. I know I speak 
for our entire community in wishing he and his wife Debbie continued 
success and happiness as they move on to their next great adventure.
  Madam Speaker, please join me today in honoring Jonathan Marshall 
upon his retirement as Deputy County Manager of Cabarrus County.
