Allentown Parking Authority Executive Director John Morgan will leave his post with the organization May 1 in a “mutually agreed” upon decision, according to a news release.
Morgan joined the parking authority in 2017 and oversaw several major projects in the city including the financing and construction of the Maple Street parking deck, the introduction of mobile pay stations for downtown street parking and rollout of license plate recognition technology. He also sits on the board of the Pennsylvania Parking Association.
“I have served here successfully for over six and a half years, did a lot of great things, and we have agreed to part ways,” Morgan said in a phone interview.
The authority board met in a closed executive session Wednesday afternoon to discuss the departure.
Parking authority board Chair Ted Zeller said the organization and Morgan were “both ready to move in different directions,” and that Morgan originally committed to leading the organization for just five years.
“John has been a valuable part of our organization,” Zeller said.
Jon Haney, the parking authority’s deputy director, will serve as interim executive director while the authority forms a search committee for its next leader.
