Hubbardston Select Board Chooses Alex MaGee for Town Administrator
At the Hubbardston Select Board meeting of May 15, 2026, The Board voted 3-1 to offer the position to Alex MaGee, (pictured) subject to contract negotiations and a comprehensive background check.
The Board rejected a prior motion for Gardner City Councilor Elizabeth Kazinskas (1-3) who was one of the three final candidates from an original field of over 70 applicants.
Regarding Alex McGee, The Board highlighted his Master of Public Administration, his experience as a Finance Director (Hamilton), and his roles in larger municipalities like Andover, Arlington, and Lowell as positive factors in making the choice.
Negotiation Strategy:
- a conditional offer was sent via email immediately following the vote offering the position of Town Administrator to Alex McGee.
- The Board will use historical TA contracts as a template for negotiations.
- The Board rejected a proposal to have a subcommittee negotiate, opting instead for a full Board executive session to ensure transparency and consensus on salary (advertised range: $130,000–$150,000) and benefits.
