Preston Janco, MPA, AICP, CZO

My name is Preston Janco, and I’m the founder of Envision Local. This business began as a passion project rooted in my lifelong commitment to community service. I grew up in a small Appalachian town in Pennsylvania, moved to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, at age 14, and returned to Appalachia in North Carolina in 2023. From the start of my career in public administration, my purpose has been to provide the highest level of public service to the communities I represent.
