Experienced leader wants “All Residents to Thrive”
Clarksville, TN – Dennis Newburn, who has more than 25 years of experience as a community development professional, has been named director of Clarksville’s Office of Housing and Community Development.
“I’ve found Clarksville to be a vibrant and growing community, and I’m impressed with the friendliness and positive attitudes of the City’s people, leadership and staff,” Newburn said.
“I’m excited to be working with people who are dedicated to supplying decent and affordable housing and expanding the ability of all residents to thrive,” stated Newburn. . .

programs to battle homelessness and to provide
improved community facilities to benefit low- and moderate-income persons.
