He states, “We have been diligent in working on improvements to our local infrastructure, extending multi- use paths for pedestrians and bicycle accommodations, and continuing with spring and summer public works construction projects.

And this is something I am truly proud of as the Town Manager of Mansfield.” The town will continue to work with its public relations and marketing firm over the next year to illuminate why Mansfield is so special and has so much to offer.
