Inaugural Pownal, VT Town Administrator Describes Position

https://townofpownal.org
Pownal, Vermont's first town administator Michael Walker

After a 2016 referendum formalized the new position of town administrator in Pownal, Vermont, it’s been a long road to filling the seat. Now, two and a half years later, Michael Walker — formerly of Wappinger Falls, New York — has been hired to take the job. He spoke with WAMC about how he came into the position, what is expected of him as the inaugural town administrator, and how the people of Pownal can make sure he hears their needs.

Josh Landes has been WAMC's Berkshire Bureau Chief since February 2018 after working at stations including WBGO Newark and WFMU East Orange. A passionate advocate for Berkshire County, Landes was raised in Pittsfield and attended Hampshire College in Amherst, receiving his bachelor's in Ethnomusicology and Radio Production. You can reach him at jlandes@wamc.org with questions, tips, and/or feedback.
