Old Town city manager lauded for leadership
Old Town City Manager Peggy Daigle has been recognized by the Maine Town and City Management Association for her role in the redevelopment of Old Town Fuel & Fiber.
Daigle last month received the association's 2010 leadership award at the 65th annual Manager's Institute in Northport, according to a press release. She was nominated by Orono Town Manager Cathy Conlow for her leadership in handling the closure of the town's paper mill and its subsequent redevelopment as Old Town Fuel & Fiber. The former Georgia-Pacific mill closed in May 2006 and was then operated as a pulp mill by Red Shield until November 2008. That month, Patriarch Partners acquired the mill and turned it into a bioenergy facility that employs about 200 people. Old Town Mayor David Mahan supported the nomination, citing Daigle's leadership in high-profile projects while still playing a key role in "smaller aspects of daily life, which receive little recognition."
The leadership award goes to someone who has led an innovative project or solved an unusually difficult problem.
