Pinal County appoints Brent Billingsley new Director of Community Development; will have ‘tremendously positive impact,’ says Rose Law Group Founder and President Jordan Rose

By Pinal County

Billingsley, who began his career with Pinal County in the mid-nineties, is well known around the County, most recently serving as Town Manager of Florence since 2015, while he previously spent seven years with the City of Maricopa and three with Central Arizona Governments (CAG).

County Manager Leo Lew said, “We’re delighted to welcome someone of Brent’s skillset and experience to Pinal County, and I’m really excited about the future advancement of our Community Development Department under Brent and Lester’s leadership. Brent knows the County and is very familiar with its potential and its challenges, so he’ll be in a great position to hit the ground running from day one.”

Brent Billingsley commented on his return to Pinal County, “After almost a decade in municipal management, I am really looking forward to focusing on community development. It is an honor to be able to work for one of the fastest-growing Counties in the United States and to be able to share the knowledge I have gained during my professional career. It is even more special to return to where I started, with Pinal County. The leadership at that time, in the early 1990s, saw something in me and invested in my success. That investment in a local kid from Casa Grande has come full circle; I very much appreciate the trust that current leadership has in me, and I will not disappoint them.”

Billingsley begins his new role on February 7th. Current Director Lester Chow is reverting to the Deputy Director role.

“I have worked with Brent for nearly two decades at the City of Maricopa and then the Town of Florence. Brent has great leadership qualities and will have a tremendously positive impact at Pinal County. “
