County lines up new director

NORTH HAVERHILL—Grafton County’s new administrator will be a familiar face to some in the area. After serving as Littleton Town Manager for 5.5 years, Andrew Dorsett will start his new position on Feb. 16. He succeeds Julie Libby, who will become the county’s finance manager.
Previously, Dorsett was a town administrator on both sides of the Connecticut River in Warren and Bradford. He was also served as a selectboard member in Groton.
During his tenure as Littleton’s Town Manager, Dorsett helped manage the River District revitalization—a project, like others, made possible in large part by community volunteers. In an interview, Dorsett said the vision comes from residents, then he gets to embrace it, find community partners, and put together a finance package to oversee the project to completion. Volunteerism has been a critical part of Littleton’s progress, he said
