North Stonington First Selectman Mike Urgo has announced he will not seek a third term as first selectman.
Urgo, 44, also took the opportunity to urge other residents interested in serving the community to not only come forward to run for his position but the many others that will be available on town boards and commissions. He added his early announcement also was aimed at giving people time to come forward before the November election.
Urgo, an unaffiliated voter, said he has loved being first selectman and it s been an honor to do the job. But I m a big believer in term limits. It s important to have new ideas, new blood, he said. People respond to new leadership. I think it s a good thing to have new leadership.
