The Greenville City Council has appointed Lindsey Griffin to a three-year term on the Greenville Utilities Board of Commissioners, beginning in July. He replaces Don Mills who has completed two terms of office.
“I am very excited about serving on the GUC Board,” said Griffin. “I enjoy being involved and really want to help good things happen in Eastern North Carolina.”
Commissioner Griffin, a Pitt County native, attended North Carolina State and worked in the construction industry for his entire professional career. He ran his own commercial landscaping business for 30 years, providing services to businesses across the state. He recently retired but continues to work 20 hours per week as a consultant in addition to his volunteer service on several boards.
He has served 11 years on the Board of the Vidant Health Foundation (including two as Chairman), and 14 years on the Pitt Community College Foundation Board. Griffin is also a founding member of the North Carolina Irrigation Contractors’ Licensing Board.
Griffin lives in Greenville with his wife of 22 years, Jamison. He has two adult daughters who live in other areas of the state.
