GORHAM — New Trails Bureau Chief Craig Rennie of the state Department of Natural and Cultural Resources met on Monday evening with select board members Chairman Mike Waddell and Adam White as well as Town Manager Denise Vallee. Vice Chair Judy LeBlanc had said she would not be present.
Rennie was accompanied by District I supervisor Clint Savage of Gorham, who acted as interim chief for seven months after former chief Chris Gamache resigned. Rennie took up his new duties on May 21, after he’d left his post at the Department of Environmental Services Wetlands Bureau.
