Lenox Selects Jay Green as Town Manager

By Jack GuerinoiBerkshires Staff
LENOX, Mass. — The selectmen unanimously voted to offer the town manager job to Adams Town Administrator Jay Green.
 
The vote came after a short meeting held on Oct. 11 where the select board supported chairman Neal Maxymillian's recommendation to appoint Green over another finalist Nicholas Caccamo, former Pittsfield City Councilor and Williamsburg town administrator. 
 
"He [Green] knows where we are and moving into this position is not going to be a huge issue," Selectman Dave Roche said. "This is a similar-sized town with many of the same issues, and I think it will be an easy transition. Given the choice I would rather go with experience."
 
A third finalist Maryanne Crawford, a former Rhode Island town administrator, withdrew her name from consideration as she took another job.
 
Roche added that he was impressed with Green's knowledge of the town, adding that Green said he watched a year's worth of selectmen's meetings in preparation for the finalist interviews.
 
Selectman Ed Lane agreed noting the move from Adams to Lenox is "lateral" and Green is equipped to deal with challenges the town will face. 
 
"I think it is a good move for him and a good move for us," he said.
