Stafford County Board of Supervisors Chairman Crystal Vanuch said, “The Board appreciates Mr. Presley’s service to the Stafford County community and the many accomplishments that helped make Stafford an amazing place to live, work and play. More importantly, Mr. Presely was the leader we needed during one of the most challenging times in our history in battling the pandemic. Stafford thanks him, and the Board wishes him the best as he continues with the next step in his career.”
Before assuming his position as County Administrator, Presley served as Deputy County Administrator in Stafford and previously served as town manager of West Warwick, R.I.

“It has been my honor and privilege to serve as County Administrator and to have served this wonderful community. I know that I leave Stafford County in a very strong position with some of the best employees in local government,” said Frederick J. Presley. “It is with a heavy heart that I leave, but must make the best decision for my family and me, especially as family health considerations pull me closer to heading back to New England.”
