ROCHESTER — The town settled on a top candidate for the position of town planner at a July 19 Selectmen’s meeting, choosing to enter contract negotiations with Kaitlin Young.

“I think she’s a good fit for the town of Rochester,” Selectman Brad Morse said, noting that she “comes with a lot of experience,” both in town planning and as a conservation agent in Maynard.

Morse noted that she’s looking to move into the area.

“Sounds great,” Selectman Woody Hartley said.
