Town of New Glasgow to hire a Development Officer

Jan 24, 2024 | Local News

The Town of New Glasgow is hiring a development officer.

 New Glasgow CAO Lisa MacDonald said the person currently working on land-use planning for the town is also serving as its development officer. In order to accelerate the town’s permitting processes and because there is a housing shortage in the community, it was decided to set up a separate development officer position.

 

MacDonald said the town launched the job posting yesterday and they are hoping to have someone soon. She noted the town expects to hear back on a housing acceleration fund application shortly.
