Lewisville Mayor Tom Lawson said the council is pleased that Wood has accepted the job of interim manager, and believes he will be a good fit to lead the town and staff through this transition period.
Wood has 25 years experience in county management, serving as a planner and manager, first in Wilkes County and the later in Yadkin County.
Wood began the job this week, working a few days a week while he wraps up other responsibilities.
The position became vacant with the resignation of Bob Greback, who had served as Lewisville’s manager for three years.
The town met with a representative from the North Carolina League of Municipalities in September in regard to the process for hiring a new manager, and were informed the process can take as long as six months.
The hiring process will be coordinated through the Northwest Piedmont Council of Government, where candidates will be screened prior to being interviewed by the council.
