ANNOUNCING: Town Manager Appointment

The Town of Townsend is pleased to announce the appointment of Julie Goodyear as our new Town Manager.  Please see the below letter from Mrs. Goodyear: 

July 11, 2024 Dear Residents and Community Members, I am honored and thrilled to introduce myself as the new Town Manager of Townsend. With a deep commitment to public service and a passion for community development, I bring 10+ years of experience in Property and HOA management and a steadfast dedication to fostering a thriving and inclusive Townsend. My journey in management began in rental properties from running apartment complexes and commercial sub-divisions. As the years progressed, a shift to HOA management occurred giving me my first experience with Governing Boards, Charters and Codes of Authority etc. Throughout my career, I have championed initiatives aimed at enhancing civic engagement and improving infrastructure all while ensuring fiscal responsibility. I believe in transparent governance and collaborative decision-making to address the needs and aspirations of our diverse community. Townsend holds a special place in my heart, as a Resident of the MOT area for many years, and I am eager to work alongside all of you to build upon the town's rich history and promising future. Together, we will tackle challenges, seize opportunities, and uphold Townsend's values of integrity, innovation, and compassion. I am committed to open communication and accessibility, and I encourage you to reach out with your ideas, concerns, and aspirations for the town. Let's embark on this journey together as we continue to shape Townsend into an even better place to live, work, and thrive. I look forward to meeting each of you and working collaboratively to ensure Townsend remains a community we are all proud to call home. Warm regards, Julie Goodyear Town Manager, Town of Townsend email - jgoodyear@townsend.delaware.gov
