Movers and Shakers: Todd Shea

ARUNDEL — In his first six months on the job, Arundel's new Town Manager Todd Shea has already started making a name for himself in the community, listening to residents' concerns, acting as their advocate and navigating them through some difficult decisions.

But Shea's also reached beyond the town's borders to forge a working relationship with Kennebunkport Town Manager Larry Mead and Kennebunk Town Manager Barry Tibbetts. He's also taken on a high profile role as a new board member for the Kennebunk & Kennebunkport Chamber of Commerce.

"Todd's obviously a breath of fresh air," said Jim Fitzgerald, president and chief executive officer of the chamber. "The town management of Arundel has, I think, been awakened, I should say the town management of Arundel has been awakened with somebody that really knows how to run a town and also has his mind solidly into the future. We've already talked about several things that the town might be undertaking over the next few years, like creating a new town center and things like that."

Shea is quick to add that the way the town changes won't be his call.
