City Council names new city manager

The City Council on Monday night unanimously voted to appoint as the new city manager the manager of a Virginia town along the Interstate 95 corridor southwest of the Washington, D.C., area.

Keith C. Rogers Jr. has since 2019 led the day-to-day operations of the Town of Dumfries and, prior to that, he worked about a decade for the City of Richmond, Va.

“We have somebody that I think we are very excited about, somebody I think will do great and wondrous things for the City of Rocky Mount,” Roberson said. “And I think that seeing a unanimous vote here from council is an expression, I believe, of everybody’s position and desire for his success.”
