Henry Schubert, Largo’s assistant city manager, and Russ Blackburn, former Gainesville city manager, will be interviewed in person later this month.

LARGO – City commissioners have settled on two candidates as the likely replacement for Largo City Manager Mac Craig, who will retire in March.

The two are Henry Schubert, one of Largo’s assistant city managers, and Russ Blackburn, a former Gainesville city manager. The two were winnowed out of an initial field of 136 applicants. That long list was reduced to eight candidates who were interviewed by telephone on Friday (Feb. 12).

Schubert and Blackburn are scheduled to attend a public meet and greet event from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Feb. 23 in the Parkview Room, Largo Cultural Center, 105 Central Park Drive. The final interviews are scheduled for 9 a.m. Feb. 24 in the Commission Chambers, City Hall, 201 Highland Ave.  The final interviews are open to the public and will also be televised on the city’s station.
