Halifax’s search for a permanent Town Administrator has hit a snag. The top candidate, Blair Crane, who was offered the position and set to negotiate a contract, has withdrawn his application. Interim Town Administrator Robert Fennessy broke the news at the August 26 Board of Selectmen meeting.
“We received a letter from him yesterday saying he’s no longer a candidate for the position,” Fennessy explained. “It puts us back at square one.”
The board now plans to touch base with their recruiter, Bernie Lynch, who’s currently out of the country, to figure out the next steps in their search.
Board Chair Jonathan Selig reassured Fennessy, “We’re lucky to have you here to keep things running smoothly. We’ll get this sorted out.”
