introduction

Fellow Residents,

Welcome to the new Village of Gilbertsville website, and my first blog as Mayor. The intent of this blog post is just to introduce myself. I will endeavor to post regular updates regarding Village business.

My parents, brothers and I moved to Gilbertsville when I was four years old. Prior to that, my family roots go back at least 4 generations in Gilbertsville. I attended GMU, and then graduated from the University of Tennessee with a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering. Since college, I have worked in various roles in manufacturing engineering. I'm currently an Engineering Supervisor for an electronics manufacturer in Norwich. 

I was appointed to the Village of Gilbertsville Board of Trustees in May 2020, and elected to a two year term in 2021. Today, Mark Muller has formally stepped down as Mayor, and as Deputy Mayor, I will fill that vacancy. Mark has agreed to continue to serve the Village as a Trustee, and I appreciate his efforts while he served as Mayor, and in the future as a Trustee.

I'm excited for this new phase. Thank you for your patience as I come up to speed with Mayoral responsibilities, and for your support as Mark, Glenn, Rich, Bernie, Ashley, and I work on behalf of the residents of the Village of Gilbertsville.

Thank you,
Nate Talbot
