Update on Florence IT Manager

 

After several tumultuous years of IT management by Jack Dressler, the City of Florence IT Department has a new leader. Jeff Whitten has been a presence on the local IT scene for several years, having designed the web sites for Lauderdale Revenue and License Commissioners, and is now in charge of the sensitive work.

Whitten, of ShoalsWEB, also designed the Lauderdale County Commission site. Now, as Florence IT manager, he's created a much-needed system of cameras for the downtown area.

We wish Mr. Whitten a longer tenure than previous IT managers Dressler and Steve Price, the latter an unfortunate victim in the expensive hacking incident of 2020.
