From the Londonderry Times:<\/p>\n
Colleen Mailloux Hired as Londonderry Town Planner<\/a><\/strong> The Town has hired Amherst Community Development Director Colleen Mailloux for the position of Town Planner.<\/p>\n Town Manager Kevin Smith said he anticipates Mailloux\u2019s transition into the new role will be smooth, noting her extensive experience in planning.<\/p>\n Prior to her work in Amherst, Mailloux, who lives in Goffstown, served as town planner in Bedford and also worked in the private sector for a civil engineering firm.<\/p>\n Mailloux earned from the University of Maine her Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Management and Policy and her Master of Arts in Resource Economics and Community Development.<\/p>\n Her annual starting salary with the Town will be $77,000.<\/p>\n Mailloux is filling the position that became vacant when Town Planner Cynthia May retired last year.<\/p>\n With the Town poised to complete an overhaul of its Zoning Ordinance and significant economic development projects in the pipeline, Mailloux is jumping into an exciting period for the Town\u2019s Planning Department.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is a lot to get up to speed on,\u201d Smith said. \u201cShe is familiar with the projects we have going on here, being in the Planning world. Like with anything, there is a learning curve. With Woodmont Commons, she is coming in at a pretty important time, as that project is beginning to get under way. And we have the two major developments at Pettengill. There\u2019s not a lack of work for her when she comes in.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s definitely more going on in Londonderry than any town in New Hampshire,\u201d Mailloux said. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be a challenge, but I\u2019m looking forward to it.\u201d<\/p>\n Mailloux said Woodmont Commons is a unique project and she looks forward to reviewing plans as they come forward.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Town put a lot of effort into having a public-private partnership,\u201d she said. \u201cThe project is ideally positioned with highway access, and the infrastructure is already there. It\u2019s a really great opportunity for development to offset the tax base.\u201d<\/p>\n Mailloux also said she will focus, as the Town has, on ensuring new development is completed in a way that minimizes impacts to residential areas.<\/p>\n Mailloux\u2019s first day on the job is to be April 4.<\/p>\n Smith said he plans to introduce Mailloux to the Town Council and the community at the Town Council\u2019s meeting that night at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n \u201cOne thing in Planning, which I will tell the Council, is it takes time to learn a community and learn what residents and the Council want, as well as how a Town operates. I will be working to understand what direction the Town is trying to go in, while being sensitive to working with the community,\u201d Mailloux said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From the Londonderry Times: Colleen Mailloux Hired as Londonderry Town Planner March 25, 2016 by Kaitlyn G Woods The Town has hired Amherst Community Development Director Colleen Mailloux for the position of Town Planner.
