Town Administrator Nick Nadeau formally tendered his resignation at last night’s Select Board meeting, following up on a letter he emailed to the Board on Friday afternoon.

The Select Board voted to accept his resignation, effective August 11, and prepared the following statement:

We, the Blue Hill Select Board, are deeply disappointed by Nick Nadeau’s resignation as our town administrator. He was doing a good job for our Town and has great potential as a municipal administrator. His decision to terminate his two-year employment agreement after only one year was solely his decision and within his rights. We appreciate his service and wish him the best going forward.

We will begin the search for a new Town Administrator immediately. In the interim, the Select Board members will work with the staff to make the transition period as seamless as possible.
