Pending approval by the City Council, Hartford will finally have a new Chief Operating Officer.
Darrell Hill, who has served as Assistant City Manager for the City of Norfolk, Virginia, is the selection according to a message from the Mayor’s Office.
Mayor Segarra says that Hill is “uniquely qualified because of his strong background in public finance, economic development/redevelopment and his knowledge of the specific challenges that come with managing an urban area.” Segarra called Hill “a straight shooter.”
David Panagore had previously served as Chief Operating Officer, resigning in September 2012. The City Council has this appointment as an agenda item for its March 24th meeting.
