The Randolph County Board of Commissioners recognized William "Will" Massey on the opening of its August meeting, thanking him for 26 years as assistant county manager and finance officer and noting his retirement on July 31, 2026.
Officials credited Massey with protecting county jobs and guiding financial decisions that kept taxpayers' burdens limited. A speaker at the meeting said Massey also served the state by sitting on the county risk group's board for 11 years and served as interim county manager for nearly five months in 2024. "He has led with integrity, accountability, and professionalism," one speaker said.
Chair remarks included presentation of the Order of the Longleaf Pine, an honor issued by the governor of North Carolina, and a commemorative clock; speakers traded anecdotes about Massey's thrift and steady leadership during budget decisions. The county did not name a successor during the remarks; speakers said Massey played an active role in onboarding the person who will take over his duties.
The recognition covered Massey's arrival in July 2000, his advancement from deputy finance officer to assistant county manager and finance officer, and his role in major county decisions over the past 26 years.
