STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. — A new man will carry out the orders of the Stafford County Board of Supervisors.
From a Stafford County press release:
Stafford County proudly announces the appointment of Thomas C. Foley to the position of County Administrator. Thomas Foley comes to Stafford from Albemarle County where he has served as County Executive. He will take over the reins from Interim County Administrator C. Douglas Barnes on February 1, 2017.
During Thomas Foley’s time at Albemarle County, Albemarle received its third ‘AAA’ bond rating, making it a triple ‘AAA’ rated community, a very prestigious financial designation. ‘AAA’ is the highest bond rating given to localities, allowing those communities to borrow money for projects at lower rates and freeing up money for other services. Stafford has two ‘AAA’ ratings from Standard & Poor’s and Fitch and is aggressively pursuing a third with its responsible and accountable financial practices.
Foley has also led efforts to better organize the county government and was involved deeply with developing a combination career/volunteer fire department, all under the auspices of the principles of high performance, a long-time practice in Stafford County. He was instrumental in consolidating the shared services between schools and county government in Albemarle which is also a high priority for Stafford’s Board. Foley is recognized for his skill in building regional and community relationships, a valuable skillset to have as Stafford and area localities move forward with regional transportation and economic goals.
Thomas Foley was appointed County Executive in Albemarle County in 2011. Before that, he was the Assistant County Executive for two years. He also served as County Administrator in both Caroline and Cumberland counties. He holds a Master of Public Administration from Virginia Commonwealth University and a Bachelor of Business Administration from Marshall University.
Foley grew up in Dale City after he moved to Virginia from Massachusetts.
He replaces Anthony Romanello who left Stafford for Henrico County in July. He served in the role of County Administrator for about nine years. Prior to that, he served as Deputy County Administrator in Stafford County.
