David YoungDavid Young is starting a new business.

After running unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination for state treasurer this year, the outgoing Buncombe County commissioner announced last week that he and his wife Leigh will be forming Young and Associates.

The company aims to help local government find top management personnel.

"I wanted to stay involved in local government and give back a portion of what I received over my 16-year tenure," he said in a statement.

The company will seek to be a middle-man between qualified managers and cities and counties with openings, including providing interim leaders.

Young is the past president of the N.C. Association of County Commissioners.

He lost the May primary to Treasurer-elect Janet Cowell.
