Local government continues to face persistent hiring challenges. The demand for qualified candidates to fill vital administrative functions continues to exceed the available pool of candidates.
That’s where Capital Strategic Solutions can help. We provide short- and long-term staffing solutions that address your most pressing needs.
Capital Strategic Solutions’ Development Executive, Blythe Robinson, has been involved in various roles with the Town of Bridgewater since March 2023. Most recently, in early September 2024, Blythe stepped in as Acting Town Manager to oversee the town’s operations while a search for a new Town Manager is underway.
Blythe has been engaged in managing demanding day-to-day operations, overseeing projects such as water and sewer infrastructure, the acquisition of the development rights for a local farm for preservation, required grant reporting, and working directly with department heads on the upcoming operating budget.
“Blythe has played a crucial role in overseeing the ongoing grant reporting and reimbursement requests for our dam removal and bridge replacement projects. We had secured $8.2 million in grant funding for these essential infrastructure projects, which are vital to our community.”
“Bridgewater has faced turnover in key management roles over the past 12 months, especially the Town Manager position. We are fortunate to have Blythe Robinson, who has effectively managed overlapping roles in administration, human resources, finance, and now oversees our day-to-day operations as our Interim Town Manager. Blythe brings a wealth of experience from various fields within local government, which has helped keep ongoing town projects on track and allowed us to continue providing vital town services, while we, as a council, seek candidates to fill the Town Manager position.”
The struggle to fill these types of important roles continues with the shortage of qualified candidates in municipal government. Capital Strategic Solutions has stepped in to continuously support the demanding environment of a town manager’s office by providing technical expertise that seamlessly maintains ongoing projects and daily operations.
