WOODSTOCK, Vt. (AP) -
A Virginia man will serve as the new town manager of the Vermont town of Woodstock.
The town selectboard and village trustees announced the selection of William Kerbin Jr. on Tuesday, the Valley News reports.
Kerbin will be coming to Vermont from Onancock, Virginia, where he has served as manager since 2016.
Kerbin was was chosen from a field of 44 applicants and four finalists. Kerbin will replace the late Phil Swanson, who died last summer.
Trustee chairman Jeff Kahn says Onancock is a little smaller than Woodstock, but it’s comparable to the Vermont town in other ways.
“They have a tourist-driven economy, and it’s got a lot of second homeowners as well as a fair number of retired folks. They also have some of the same issues, including affordable housing,” Kahn said.
Kerbin is due to start on March 25.
