Garry Buckminster, previously Acting Harbormaster, was promoted to the permanent Harbormaster position on Monday, Sept. 27.

"He fulfilled all of my expectations," Town Administrator Mark Andrews said of Buckminster.

Buckminster had been filling in as Harbormaster since June, when former-Harbormaster Michael Parola resigned to pursue other employment. Buckminster served as Assistant Harbormaster before taking over the department.

"I am extremely happy to be given this opportunity," Buckminster said. "We have a lot of goals and objectives that we'd like to complete." He added that he has a great team in place and is excited to continue his work with the department in this new role.

Buckminster began working for the department as a seasonal deputy in 1995. He was promoted to Assistant Harbormaster in 1999.
