Hozza Named Lehigh County's New Administrator

Whitehall Mayor Ed Hozza has been named Lehigh County's new Administrator. In  news release announcing this appointment, Lehigh County Exec Phillips Armstrong describes him as a man with "a proven track record of versatile and strategic leadership, and a strong command of the issues and concerns of municipalities and townships throughout Lehigh County.”

This is actually quite a catch for Armstrong and Lehigh County. Hozza is without question one of the most capable public administrators in the Lehigh Valley, and one who has always been willing to laugh at himself.

Perhaps that's why Edwin "Fed Ed" Pawlowski recruited someone to run against Hozza a few years ago. He felt threatened.

Hozza is a graduate of DeSales University with a B.A in Business Management and a minor in Marketing. He spent 23 years working in the private sector at the Nabisco Food Group and Alza Pharmaceuticals prior to entering Whitehall Township government, where he's been for 11 years.

Hozza's appointment must be confirmed by the Board of Commissioners. He should have no problem.

    Will he have to step down from the Whitehall position? I think he is capable enough to handle both at the same time. Shame for Whitehall if he has to step down. Nice guy.

    I believe he will have to step down, but need to check.

    A fabulous choice. He was severely underpaid in Whitehall, yet he still did a quality job! Lehigh County's gain, Whitehall's loss.

    I agree that Mayor Hozza is an excellent choice for this position. Having worked with him on the Planning Commission, I know him to be intelligent, witty and a rational, creative man. Congratulations to him on this auspicious appointment!
