Two returning members and one newcomer were sworn in on the Greenville City Council at the Dec. 8 meeting.
Incumbents Lillian Brock-Flemming and Wil Brasington began their next terms, while Tina Belge became the newest member of Council.
Belge filled the at-large seat previously held by Russell Stall, who did not seek re-election. She brings experience in community development, urban planning and affordable housing advocacy.
“Standing here tonight is something I dreamed about as a little girl, long before I ever knew the words public service or policy,” Belge said. “I just knew I wanted to help people and make communities stronger to be here now in this role is more than I can express.”
Brock-Flemming, representing District 2, is the longest serving councilor in the history of Greenville. She just completed her 44th year on Council, serving since 1981. Brock-Flemming also spent 46 years in public education and is widely recognized for her neighborhood advocacy and commitment to community service.
Wil Brasington has represented District 4 since 2017, focusing on growth, public safety and strengthening the local business climate. Prior to his election to council, Brasington served on the City’s Planning Commission and is a past president of the Alta Vista Neighborhood Association.
Each member will serve a four-year term that runs through 2029.
