Elvin R. Cosby, 90, the longest-serving Henrico County employee, breaks into applause when he is surprised Monday with the county naming of a street in his honor. The new street, Elvin Cosby Way, is located within the Henrico County Government Center off Parham Road and connects Prince Henry and Dison Powers drives. Mr. Cosby, who still serves as a maintenance supervisor for the Henrico Department of Public Works, was first hired by the county 72 years ago on April 23, 1946. In 2015, the county established the Elvin R. Cosby Award to recognize longtime employees for outstanding contributions and service. Next month, Mr. Cosby is to be recognized with the Judith M. Mueller Local Government Service Award from the American Public Works Association for his continuous service to the county.
