Woody Lewis Recognized for 38 Years of Service
As of August 15, 2023, Prescott Valley's Chief Building Official, Woody Lewis celebrated 38 years of service to the Town. Woody is a humble man whose interest in the public sector stems from his love of helping people. A native Arizonan, Woody's favorite part of working with the Town is that every day is different and constantly changing. Some may think Woody would have some retirement plans lined up, but he doesn't. He says he likes his job and he's having fun, and until then he's going to stay here. Woody has probably stepped foot in most of the buildings in the community and has seen incredible changes in the Town.
