Mount Airy Mayor Larry Hushour said Monday that he would resign from office in late August, triggering a special election in the fall.
“I just haven't been able to perform to the standard that I think I should be performing the job as mayor,” Hushour said.
His resignation comes after a tumultuous year for the town, which saw the death of a police officer and a contentious debate over a proposed housing development.
Hushour, who has served as mayor for six years, said he was proud of his accomplishments, including the revitalization of the downtown area and the expansion of the town’s park system.
He also acknowledged the challenges, including the ongoing opioid crisis and the need for more affordable housing.
The special election to replace Hushour will be held in November.
