ANNUAL REPORT Town Manager – Letter of Transmittal

Dear Citizens of the Town of New Gloucester, Chair Larrivee, Vice Chair Donovan, and Select Board members Hathorne, Ward, and Strickler: In November of 2022, I was chosen as your new Town Manager. I quickly tried to familiarize myself with many facets of this community. Items that were reviewed by me included; financial statements, warrants, personnel history, departmental concerns, projects in motion, the Charter, and policies and procedures. I quickly learned that New Gloucester has a very committed team of employees. They are quick to respond to requests from taxpayers and residents, provide continued or improved services for the town, and continue to make me proud of the work they perform day in and day out with much dedication. I want to extend a special thank you to each of them for their professionalism, commitment, and hard work. Furthermore, the town has equally dedicated residents willing to serve on committees and offer their skill set on planning and implementing initiatives for the Town. I also want to extend a thank you to each of them for their willingness to serve the Town and, offer their time and talent. I look forward to working with residents, the Select Board and employees to continue to make New Gloucester a great place to live, work and play. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any comments, questions, or concerns. I am here to serve each of you.

Respectfully submitted: William H. Kerbin Jr.
