The search for a new town planner may be drawing to a close as Selectmen and Planning Board members prepare to interview a candidate for the position.

At Monday’s Selectmen meeting, Town Administrator Rich LaCamera said members from both boards will interview Mattapoisett’s Mary Crain. The joint interview is scheduled for Jan. 14 at 7:15 p.m.

The town has been without a planner since John Charbonneau resigned the part-time position in September.
