The town of Killington announced the appointment of Kevin Hewitt as the new highway foreman as of June 24. Hewitt is currently employed in the town’s highway department and brings an abundance of experience in infrastructure maintenance and construction management to the team, with a strong foundation of knowledge of Killington’s needs, the town stated in a news release.
Before coming to Killington in 2023, Hewitt served in various roles as a heavy equipment operator and road maintenance person throughout the area, and his experience in both the private and public sectors will be of value to Killington as we venture into a future full of improvement and new construction projects, the town stated.
Town Manager Michael Ramsey said, “The town went through its review, and Hewitt stood out as the leading candidate. Aside from having a wealth of knowledge surrounding construction, Hewitt has shown himself to be a leader over the last several weeks and is willing to learn and grow within the organization.”
