PRESS RELEASE 

On August 14, 2017 at its regular meeting, the Luray Town Council made several significant decisions. 

After clarifying that the Council never considered spending $100,000 to hire a consulting group to 

recruit an Interim Town Manager, the Council evaluated its options and elected to continue having 

Bryan Chrisman serve as Acting Town Manager. Additionally, the Council will be hosting a Town Hall 

meeting to solicit input from the community on what skills and traits are important for the next Town 

Manager to possess. Based on that input, the Council and staff will then begin recruiting for the Town 

Manager position. The Town Hall meeting will be held on Monday, September 11, 2017 from 6 -7 p.m. 

in the Council Chambers. The Council will then continue with their regular monthly meeting at 7 p.m.
