Additionally, he spent 31 years with Georgia Power Company as an industrial and business site selector and recruiter.

He will begin his role in mid-March under an initial six-month contract with the possibility of extensions.

Upon his selection, Mr. Scragg said, “I am honored to be considered and selected as the Long County Manager, and I look forward to assisting the Commission, the Constitutional Officers, and the employees of Long County.”
