Todd, and David Doss of the Georgia Department of Transportation, while commissioner and chairman of the Public Works Committee Bill Collins (front right) speaks at the dedication of the roundabout on Chattillon Road last Friday.
Scott, 39, headed the department since 2007, managing many projects for the city — including the recently opened J.L. Todd Drive.
“Alvin was not only an integral part
of the city’s
management team, he was a great person, co-worker and friend who will be missed by all” Public Works Director Jamie McCord said.
Scott was a native of Hopkins, S.C., and a graduate of South Carolina State University with a degree in civil engineering. He came to the city of Rome from the Georgia Department of Transportation, where he worked as a project engineer in metro Atlanta for 11 years.
“Mr. Scott was an extraordinary individual,” said Public Services Manager Kirk Milam. “He brought good humor, dedication and professionalism with him every day.”
Scott is survived by his wife, Tracy, and his son, Jackson Scott, also of Marietta. He will be buried in his hometown of Hopkins after funeral arrangements are finalized.
