Marion extends Town Administrator’s contract

Nov 2, 2021

MARION — The Marion Select Board voted to extend the contract of Town Administrator Jay McGrail for another five years at a Nov. 2 meeting.

McGrail originally signed a three-year contract in April of 2019 which would have expired this spring.

We wanted to extend him “to keep his foot nailed to the floor upstairs, so we don’t lose him,” said Select Board Member Norm Hills.

“I appreciate the trust you guys have put in me to do what I need to do,” said McGrail, lamenting only the chaos of the last few weeks.

McGrail added that he “looks forward to honoring the five years.”
