The man who transformed Langford is out after nearly 30 years at the helm of Vancouver Island’s development hub.
Political newcomer Scott Goodmanson has beaten long-serving Mayor Stew Young as the Langford Now slate swept today’s election and is expected to slow the rapid development that has characterized the community since it incorporated.
Young has led Langford almost since it first become a municipality 29 years ago.
The vote headlines the evening as Black Press Media team is covering municipal election races from across Vancouver Island.
