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.
