Marquette, MI – Marquette City Commissioners have unanimously voted in a new city manager. Judy Akkala says her interest in the job stemmed from her tendency to face challenges head on, and that as interim city manager for Marquette, she learned that the city has a number of issues that are top priorities. She says her goals are to bring the city back to a slower pace in terms of developments and projects. Akkala went on to say she thinks that she and the commissioners are on the same page with their plans for Marquette.
