A native and lifelong resident of Oakwood, Lamar Scroggs has served on the Oakwood City Council since 1975. In 1976, he took office as mayor and has served in that leadership position every year since.

 

As mayor for nearly four decades, Scroggs has both witnessed and participated in countless historical area events – Lake Lanier, Gainesville State College, Hwy. 365/I-985, the construction of Thurmon Tanner Parkway, development along Mundy Mill Road – and most recently, the multi-million dollar interstate interchange construction at the Oakwood I-985 exit that has enhanced transportation and visibility for the city. Also, he has been a driving force in the development of the Oakwood 2030 vision plans for the future.

 

Scroggs is self-employed, working in the trucking industry. He and his wife Evelyn, have one daughter and a granddaughter, as well as a very pampered pet Papillon dog.
