In 2023, Jim was promoted to Utilities Superintendent, where he continued to demonstrate outstanding leadership while overseeing the Town's electric, water and wastewater operations. In his new role as Director of Public Works, Jim will oversee the Town's Utilities, Water, Sewer, and Highway Departments, helping to ensure that Northfield's essential infrastructure and public services continue to operate safely and efficiently.

"Jim embodies everything we hope for in a public servant," said Town Manager Mary Smith. "His dedication, kindness, leadership, and tireless work ethic have made him an invaluable member of our team for nearly 30 years. He leads by example, treats everyone with respect, and is deeply committed to serving our community. We are incredibly fortunate to have someone of Jim's caliber leading our Public Works operations."

His collaborative approach and willingness to go above and beyond have played an important role in maintaining the high level of service that Northfield residents depend on every day.

Please join us in congratulating Jim Russo on this well-deserved promotion. We look forward to his continued leadership as he helps guide the future of Northfield's public works services. Congratulations, Jim, and thank you for your nearly 30 years of dedicated service to the Town of Northfield and its residents.

Both Chief Nordenson and Deputy Chief Moulton join the Northfield Police Department from the Montpelier Police Department, bringing with them extensive law enforcement experience, strong leadership, and a deep commitment to public service. “We could not be more pleased to welcome Eric and Kevin to our community,” said Town Manager Mary Smith. “Public safety is one of the Town’s highest priorities, and we are confident their leadership, professionalism, and dedication to community policing will serve Northfield extremely well.”

Kevin Moulton has already made a tremendous impact during his time serving as Interim Chief of Police. His leadership has been well received by both municipal staff and Northfield residents, and the Town is excited to have him continue serving the community in the role of Deputy Chief.

“Kevin has demonstrated outstanding leadership, stability, and commitment during this transition period,” Smith said. “We are beyond excited about what the future holds for our police department under the leadership of both Eric and Kevin.”

The Town looks forward to supporting Chief Nordenson and Deputy Chief Moulton as they continue building strong relationships within the community and advancing the department’s mission of public safety, professionalism, and service.
