Each year the Town recognizes a series of employees to honor for their performance and commitment to the Town. For 2015, Jeremy Driggers was selected as the Town’s Employee of the Year for his outstanding work, dedication to the Town, and for the uplifting spirit he brings to work every day.

Jeremy has been employed with the Town for more than five years and is a mechanic in the Fleet Department. In addition to his duties, Jeremy serves on a number of employee committees where he is able to provide constructive feedback and leadership to others.

Jeremy was nominated by his fellow employees for this award; with the final selection coming from a panel of community and business leaders. Jeremy and his wife, Amanda, reside just outside of Town with their 2-year-old daughter, Paisley.

Others recognized for their commitment to the Town include:

Barbara Cribb – 35 Years of Service (Police Department)
Angie Adkins – 30 Years of Service (DPW)

The Batesburg-Leesville Fire Department also recently recognized its Firefighter of the Year and Officer of the Year. For 2015, Jeff Padgett was selected as the Firefighter of the Year and Chris Hallman as the Officer of the Year. Jeff has been a member of Fire Department for just over two years and Chris for more than 11 years. Each of these individuals continue to serve the community with distinction and are role models for others to follow.

The Police Department will be naming its Officer of the Year at the end of March.
