GLASGOW — After serving just more than six months as director of Glasgow’s Renaissance on Main Street program, Cayce Harlow has stepped down because she is relocating to another state.
Her last day was June 27. She gave notice to the committee a week prior to her last day.
Harlow became director in January and also served as the city’s grant writer.
Mayor Darrell Pickett said the job description combines both director and grant writer and that makes it hard to decide the pay rate.
“It’s usually about in the $27,000 to $30,000 range,” Pickett said. “It’s not only renaissance director, it’s grant writer also. We have tied both together because there’s so many grants to write in the Renaissance Committee.”
Conne Baker, who serves on the Renaissance Committee said she is sad to see Harlow leave.
“It was enjoyable working with her,” Baker said. “She was very personable, quick to get back with an answer. I thought she picked up on what she needed to learn pretty quickly.”
As director, Harlow’s duties included keeping up with projects that the committee works on.
Sam Terry, committee chairman, said Harlow helped the committee continue work that had already started when she was hired.
“She was involved in continuing work on the Dickinson-Greer house, that was certainly something she has been involved in,” he said.
Terry said that Harlow was very enthusiastic and she “brought that enthusiasm to the efforts downtown.”
Pickett said a decision on who, if anyone, will replace Harlow will not be made until the committee meets on July 21.
“I have not decided what we’re going to do with that yet,” Pickett said. “We’ll discuss that during the meeting. If we hire a new renaissance director, we’d still like to have the attachment of grant writer. It’s my understanding that we have three months to rehire a director, so we have to make up our minds quick about what we’re going to do.”
Pickett said that the economy will play a part in the decision.
“We don’t know if we’ll have the money to pay an employee,” he said. “The Renaissance Committee has been good for our community. We’ve kind of run out of projects right now, but we do want to keep it running.”
Harlow replaced Dr. Rhonda Riherd Trautman, who left in December.
