After four decades designing and planning modern Sherman, Scott Shadden is calling it a career.
Throughout the month of December, city officials and community leaders have thanked Shadden for his contributions to the city as the director of community development. In this role, Shadden had front row seat to development and growth in the city of Sherman over the better part of a half-century.
Shadden will be leaving the city of Sherman in January, capping off nearly 40 years to the day with the city.
"I have been fortunate to share in the visions and concepts that Sherman is a great place to live, work and raise a family," Shadden said in a news release. "Most importantly, I am thankful for my wonderful wife and family that have always stood by me and supported my efforts and dreams."
