The Firestone Board of Trustees unanimously voted to enter into an employment agreement with Bruce Nickerson to become the Town Manager, effective Nov. 14. Nickerson has assumed responsibility for managing the key affairs of the Town.
Nickerson has been the acting Town Planner, via a contract relationship, since 1994, and has been instrumental in building much of Firestone as it is known today. Among his accomplishments, he is credited with contributing to many of Firestone’s successful land use and urban planning initiatives, bringing the Town national notoriety for being one of the best small towns in which to live.
“It is exciting to have the privilege of further working with our Board to promote the quality of life for the citizens in this thriving community in motion,” Nickerson said. “I have had the privilege of building so many strong relationships in my capacity as Town Planner over the past 22 years and am excited to continue enhancing these relationships in my new role.”
