HADLEY — A senior planner in Amherst, Williamsburg’s town administrator and the director of the Leominster Public Library are finalists for the Hadley town administrator position, with Select Board interviews scheduled for Tuesday.

The Select Board’s hybrid meeting starts at 3:30 p.m. at the Hadley Senior Center, 46 Middle St., with the first interview at 4 p.m. with Nicholas J. Caccamo, the town administrator in Williamsburg since May 2021. At 5:15 p.m., Alexander Lent, the Leominster library director since January 2021, will field questions. Then, at 6:30 p.m., Nathaniel J. Malloy, who has worked in the Amherst Planning Department for 17 years, will interview.

The three candidates, who previously completed first-round interviews in a closed-door session with the Town Administrator Search Committee on April 10, are vying for the position previously held by Carolyn Brennan, who served as the town’s third permanent town administrator from September 2020 until her retirement last December. Michael Mason, the town’s police chief, has been handling the interim role since last September, when Brennan began a sick leave.

The position pays between $115,000 and $150,000, depending on experience and qualifications. The search committee has been working with Community Paradigm Associates of Plymouth.

The Select Board will have a discussion at 7:30 p.m., following the interviews, and has a meeting posted for Wednesday at 6 p.m., as well, also at the Senior Center and in hybrid format.

Malloy, of South Deerfield, has worked for the Amherst Planning Department since 2008, first as an associate planner and since 2011 as a senior planner. He also completed the University of Massachusetts Supervisory Leadership Development Program.

In a letter to the search firm and the town, he wrote: “Collaborating with staff and the public keeps me grounded and attentive to the diverse needs of the community. I have learned to be a better listener and facilitator, adept at managing contentious public hearings or resolving issues between public and private interests. I see the value in encouraging and supporting all voices and perspectives, especially those that are not often involved with municipal government.”

Lent, of Petersham, has worked as chief executive officer for the Leominster library, and before that as director of the Peabody Institute Library of Danvers. In addition to his 10 years as a library director, he also completed a master’s degree in public administration at Westfield State University.

“I have loved working in libraries, helping residents pursue their interests and serving as a hub for the community,” Lent wrote in a letter to the search firm and town. “I am eager to move to a position where I can spend my time focused on the community as a whole.”

Caccamo, of Pittsfield, was a research assistant at UMass prior to becoming Williamsburg town administrator, and has also been an elected city councilor in Pittsfield and earned a master’s of science degrees in public policy and administration and regional planning at UMass.

“With my extensive background in municipal operations, proven financial oversight experience, and creative agility, I hope to contribute to the continued growth and success of the Hadley community,” Caccamo wrote in a letter to the town.
