Decision on Hiring of New Zoning Official in Oxford Further Delayed

Oxford officials have once again delayed the process of hiring a new zoning enforcement official, the Republican-American reports.

First Selectman George R. Temple cancelled a special meeting Tuesday, where the board intended to hire a new zoning enforcement official, the paper reports. The decision will be added to the Board of Selectmen meeting that is scheduled for Oct. 15.

Last week, the board voted not to hire one of two applicants recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

The position, which has been vacant since August, needs to be filled to manage three major projects coming to Oxford, the Oxford Towne Center, the CPV Towantic Energy Center and the Masonicare Assisted Living Facility.
