Emmett Spurlock

I have been a resident of Fayetteville for 19 years. During that time, I spent the last 10 years of a 28 year career serving our country as an officer in the United States Army, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel; and 8.5 years as a government contractor. My time was split between Atlanta, DC/MD/VA, and the Middle East. Currently, I am the Co-CEO/COO and co-founder of a high-tech startup company (est 2021) focusing on clean energy. Two generations of our family have gone through the Fayetteville education system, one of the best in the state. Involved with Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. Active participant in CoCo's Cupboard, Tails of Hope, and TAO canine organizations. Affectionately known as "the Mayor" in numerous circles due to my ability to communicate with most anybody on any subject. My main focus is to help Fayetteville grow responsibly taking into consideration the desire to attract younger couples, bring sustainable jobs/careers to the area, and improve infrastructure all in a fiscally responsible manner.

My position is that we do a through analysis of the impacts of building more housing; don't stop at the obvious impacts, but look at the second and third order effects. Further, do everything reasonable to bury lines to minimize the intrusion on personal property. Clean up the city as part of the plan to attract new business.
