New London City Planner Selected as New Branford Town Planner

The new Branford town planner is set to begin working in mid-June.

Branford has selected Harry Smith, who has been the New London City Planner since 2004, as the new town planner, according to the Branford Seven.

A factor that set Smith apart from the other 5 applicants, Jamie Cosgrove, Branford First Selectman, said was that he had prior experience in a Shoreline town, as well as working with coastal management issues, the Seven reported.

Smith is set to start sometime in mid-June, according to the Seven.
