The City of Homewood is proud to welcome Glen Adams as our first City Manager! His contract will run through the end of October. At that time, the new city council will decide whether to extend his tenure. 

Adams brings extensive leadership and problem-solving experience from both his military and municipal careers. He previously served as the Interim Town Manager of Purcellville, VA, and the City Manager of Santa Fe, TX. He was also the Chief of Staff at White Sands Missile Range. Additionally, he owned and operated Property Magic, LLC, after retiring from the U.S. Army. 

His journey toward city management began in Savannah, GA, in 1994 when he witnessed local leaders restore their community after a major storm. This inspired him to pursue public service, focusing on rebuilding, infrastructure, and community development. Over his 26 years of active and reserve service in the U.S. Army Engineer Regiment, Adams gained invaluable experience in managing large-scale construction projects, overseeing public works, and coordinating government operations. 

His background makes him a great fit for Homewood’s first City Manager role. In Iraq, he helped rebuild infrastructure for a city of one million people, overseeing roads, water, sewer, and drainage. As a Facilities Engineer, he managed multimillion-dollar construction projects, working with contractors and ensuring safety—key skills for city infrastructure management. He has also led negotiations with government officials and businesses, experience that will help him coordinate Homewood’s future growth and development.
