SUMMERVILLE, Ga. — A special election to replace retiring Mayor Joe Robert Norton likely will occur March 15.
Norton, 74, will retire Dec. 31 despite being re-elected to a four-year term in November 2009.
“I’m not mad at anybody and there’s no one issue. I just want to have more time now for myself and focus on the things I want to do,” Norton said.
