Bobby Cowger, a lifelong resident of Pocomoke, has been named city manager, Mayor Bruce Morrison announced during the council meeting on Monday.
Cowger, who has served multiple terms as Worcester County Commissioner and had run the now defunct county Department of Liquor Control, said he sought the position for both professional and personal reasons.
“I was born and raised in Pocomoke,” he said. “I’ve been here all my life.”
Cowger, whose first day on the job is Aug. 28, takes over for former City Manager Ernie Crofoot who left office on July 5.
After graduating from Pocomoke High School in 1976 Cowger worked with his family’s construction business, Cowger Brothers Ready Mix Concrete and Asphalt Paving, for nearly two decades.

Just curious...is Cowger a CPA or MBA? Does he hold a degree in municipality management or other local government discipline? Sounds strange that being a life long resident is the qualification.
