At its Nov. 15 meeting, the Buncombe County Board of Commissioners celebrated Robert Pressley for his six years of service to Buncombe County residents. First elected in 2016, Pressley represented District 3 and was a tremendous advocate for economic development, education, and infrastructure.
During his tenure on the board, Pressley served on multiple committees and boards including the Early Childhood Education & Development Fund Committee, Tourism Development Authority, and Metropolitan Sewerage District Board. Pressley facilitated countless projects for Buncombe County including the road infrastructure in Enka Commerce Park, Enka Recreation Destination, Pratt & Whitney Economic Development, and more.
“The six years have been one of the most joyful things I’ve done in all my career,” said Pressley.
Pressley was presented with a proclamation honoring his contributions as a member of the Board of Commissioners.
