Leesburg, VA (November 13, 2026) – Lott Bolden, who has served as the Town’s Buildings Superintendent since October 2006, has retired.
In his role as Buildings Superintendent, Lott was responsible for the construction, maintenance, and repair of buildings and facilities. That amounted to 350,000 square feet of building space, which he and his staff of five oversaw. Facilities included Ida Lee Recreation Center, Town Hall, the Thomas Balch Library, the Leesburg Police Department, and the Leesburg Executive Airport Terminal.
Lott said he is most proud of the projects he was able to accomplish for Town facilities, from basic maintenance to large-scale renovations.
Lott joined Town staff following a career spent in the private sector, including at USA Today/Gannett, GTE Government Systems, and the Army Navy Country Club. He said it’s the people he worked with over the years on Town staff that kept him in Leesburg for the last two decades of his career.
“I had good relationships, good people working for me and with me,” he said.
In retirement, he said he is looking forward to spending time with his wife and grandchildren.
“We went through a lot of challenges and changes in Leesburg, and I’m proud of how I’m leaving the Town,” Lott said.
“It has been a pleasure to work with Lott as the Town’s Buildings Superintendent. Through his 20 years of service, he has seen and been part of some large projects at Town facilities. He always approached each job as the challenge it would be and remained steadfast in his oversight until each project was completed. His vigilance, dedication, and the long hours have made the Town facilities what they are today. I wish him the best in his well-deserved retirement,” stated Public Works Department Director Renee LaFollette.
