Borough Manager
Greenville Borough Seeks Professional Borough Manager Greenville, Pennsylvania, a Home Rule community (formerly a Borough) with a distinct small-town feel and home to Thiel College with a population of roughly 5,700, seeks an innovative, collaborative leader to work with our Borough Council and team to take our community to the next level.
Greenville is a remarkable turn around story. After problems in the early 2000’s the borough was declared distressed by the Commonwealth and then deliberately and systemically built the municipal government back to its current position: fiscally stable, professionally run, and determined to advance its economic and community future.
Because Greenville operates under a Council-Manager form of government by charter, it offers the professional administrative authority servant-leaders crave. Borough officials are looking for a candidate to share their sense of community and vision for the future. The Borough Manager oversees a diverse range of municipal services including full-service Police and Fire Departments, Public Works, and Community Development. Additional duties require engagement with a variety of independent and quasi-independent boards and agencies, including a planning commission, redevelopment authority, airport, and various intermunicipal partners.
Given the Borough’s recovery, Borough is looking for a candidate with strong financial acumen to take the reins of the budget and financial planning process, manage the operations and aggressively seek grants and other investment. Infrastructure and capital planning are a top priority given the Borough’s recent sale of utility operations. The ideal candidate is a leader with 5 years of experience, knowledge of economic development, and a sense of stewardship for community assets.
