He most<br \/>\nrecently served as the Town Manager in Bridgewater, which followed<br \/>\nstints as the County Administrator for Plymouth County, the Assistant<br \/>\nto the Mayor in Attleboro, and the Director of Business Services in<br \/>\nthe Town of Bourne. Local government is in his blood. &#8220;I am honored to<br \/>\nbe in Hanover, and look forward to immersing myself in this great<br \/>\ncommunity,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n<p>Troy is very excited to have been unanimously appointed by the<br \/>\nSelectmen, and, at a recent meeting, acknowledged the sound foundation<br \/>\ncreated by his predecessor Stephen Rollins, and the current Board of<br \/>\nSelectmen. He has already met with department heads and members of the<br \/>\ncommunity, and encourages residents to stop in and say hello. &#8220;This is<br \/>\nthe peoples&#8217; building where we do the peoples&#8217; business,&#8221; said the<br \/>\nlocal government veteran. &#8220;The Selectmen stressed that an important<br \/>\nrole of the Town Manager is being an effective communicator. I will<br \/>\nwork hard to fulfill that challenge,&#8221; he continued. The new Town<br \/>\nManager will be working with Selectmen to establish goals for the<br \/>\ncoming year, to provide a &#8220;road map&#8221; on the direction of the<br \/>\ncommunity. <\/p>\n<p>Troy lives in Falmouth, the town he has called home since his<br \/>\nchildhood, and is the father of two daughters, Sydney (20) and Jenna<br \/>\n(17). He is a 1990 graduate of Boston College. Please see the attached<br \/>\npicture!
