The executive director of Little Rock’s public housing authority will resign after less than nine months on the job.
Anthony Snell sent an email to the Metropolitan Housing Alliance board of commissioners on Thursday stating that he would leave the post effective July 7, board chair Kenyon Lowe said.
The agency’s board of commissioners accepted Snell’s resignation Friday afternoon with a unanimous vote after an executive session that lasted about 45 minutes.
Snell was chosen as executive director in October after serving in the role on an interim basis. That followed a tumultuous 11-month search marked by two resignations, two temporary managers and one preferred candidate's withdrawal.
Snell declined to comment on his resignation Friday afternoon.
