On July 17, Skyler Russell was promoted to Assistant Director of the Lillington Public Works Department, and The Town Board, along with coworkers and other staff, wished him all the best in his new leadership position!
Skyler began work for the Town in January 2016, and he’s steadily progressed through the ranks since then. He sets a high bar by example, standing out among his peers, and he was awarded Employee of the Year in 2019.
“There’s a host of reasons for this well-earned advancement,” said Town Manager Joseph Jeffries in a press release, “And the common denominator with Skyler is a high quality work ethic”.
Jeffries said that Lillington routinely evaluates the most efficient provision of services and with rapid growth in residential development the staffing is a big focus in all departments. Skyler is originally from Savannah, Georgia, and he’s lived in North Carolina off and on since 1999. Now he and his family have made Harnett County their home.
