 A few thoughts on why this one is worth a look:  Honey Brook is a beautiful rural community in northwestern Chester County with nearly 80 percent farmland, a meaningful Plain community (Amish) presence, and a well-funded land preservation program the next manager will help steward. For a manager who values mission-driven work and community connection, the bones here are excellent.

 Operations are straightforward. The administrative team is small, strong, and tenured. Public Works is in the middle of a leadership transition with the Director retiring after over 40 years which presents a real opportunity for the next manager to help shape that team going forward.  The role will reward a strong communicator and patient relationship-builder.  A three-member Board gives the Manager direct access to elected officials, and the resident base is engaged.
