The Dispatch
No matter where Scott Leonard is it s hard to get away from work. On his drive to work, during his drive to church and even on his drive to the grocery store, he sees work outside his Ford Mountaineer s windshield wherever he looks.
It s not a problem, however, to be surrounded by views of his job as a 30-year employee with the Davidson County Planning and Zoning Department. That view provides a daily reminder of the imprint he has been able to have on his home county and why he has spent his entire career here. Leonard loves Davidson County, his co-workers and his job, a passion that helped propel him ahead of the other applicants for the director s position of the Davidson County Planning and Zoning Department. Leonard was named director on Feb. 1.
