ARLINGTON, MA – Arlington Town Manager Sandy Pooler announced in Thursday’s Town Hall meeting that Alex Magee was selected as Arlington’s new deputy town manager and finance director.

The deputy town manager performs important administrative duties such as preparing the operating and capital budgets and the five-year Long Range Plan, formulating health insurance policy, conducting collective bargaining, measuring departmental performance, and producing the Financial Plan, Town officials said in a news release.
