"It's a privilege to be able to continue serving the citizens of Beaufort County and to be back on the county staff.  I look forward to working with Mr. Greenway, other senior members of the County staff, and County Council to recruit and retain a talented, diverse workforce that reflects the demographics of our County," said Mr. Marshall.

Marshall previously served as Department Director of PALS, now named Beaufort County Parks and Recreation and Executive Director for Board of Voter Registration and Elections of Beaufort County.
