After five months, Glenwood Springs has a new city manager. City Council made the decision on Monday.
Debra Figueroa will be coming from Pennsylvania, where she’s assistant manager of the Carlisle Borough. That town is reportedly more than eighteen thousand residents, more than twice the size of Glenwood Springs.
Figueroa will start June 13 with a two-year contract. In a press release Monday afternoon, Glenwood officials said she is well equipped to handle challenges like the Grand Avenue Bridge project.
Figueroa will take the place of interim city manager Andrew Gorgey, who’s been at the helm since December. He replaced longtime manager Jeff Hecksel.
