MANCHESTER â The Select Board appointed Laurie Kunz to fill the vacant seat on the board at its meeting Tuesday.
Kunz will fill the vacant spot created when Todd Nebraska stepped down March 19 because he and his family were moving out of Manchester.
The board has operated with just four members for the past two months as they sought a replacement.
The board held interviews with candidates recently and Select Board chair Ivan Beattie said he was impressed with all of the candidates and hoped those not chosen would perhaps stay engaged and consider service in another capacity.

Wandering Eye: The View of Bennington Jamie Franklin
This week’s installment of the
Eye is guest-edited by our friend, Bennington Museum curator Jamie Franklin. The Green Mountains of Vermont are home to far more than craft breweries, brilliant blankets of color in autumn, and the finest skiing on the East Coast. Vermont is rich in history and artistic culture. Allow Mr. Franklin to guide you through some of the exhibitions and permanent works in the collection of the Bennington Museum, where he has been in his post since 2005. His passion for American art has led him to present shows dedicated to Rockwell Kent, Grandma Moses, Milton Avery, Alice Neel, and many others. For a little more background on Jamie, check out this “tour” of his tremendous collection of self taught art. Enjoy!
