Jay Green has been town administrator in Adams since 2019.

LENOX, Mass. — The Town Manager Screening Committee has selected three finalists the select board will consider to fill the seat left by former Town Manager Christopher Ketchen.

Current Adams Town Administrator Jay Green was announced to the select board, along with former Pittsfield City Councilor Nicholas Caccamo.

The third candidate is Maryanne Crawford, a former Rhode Island town administrator.    

Finalist interviews will begin this weekend.

Ketchen stepped down in June after 10 years of leading the town.

Green, an attorney and former administrative officer for the city of North Adams, was a district manager for Amtrak when he was hired in Adams in 2019.
 
Caccamo served four two-year terms representing Pittsfield's Ward 3. He had worked in education in county schools and, at the time he stepped down from the council, said he was pursuing work in public service. He was hired by Williamsburg as its town administrator in 2021.
