The 16-year city utility executive was rehired in May to ‘right the ship’ after an attempt to sell it.
The JEA board of directors honored interim Managing Director and CEO Paul McElroy during its monthly meeting Dec. 11 with an official send-off.
McElroy leaves the city-owned utility after a seven-month tenure where he purged senior executives involved in the last year’s attempt to sell JEA.
He worked to reduce the size of JEA’s next corporate headquarters building Downtown and settled the utility’s legal fight with Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia over a purchase power agreement for nuclear Plant Vogtle.
